To answer my own question after a lot of trials:

Whole measure rests give errors in \cadenzaOn ... \cadenzaOff where
\cadenzaOn  s<whatever1> r1\fermata  s<whatever2>  \cadenzaOff  in the 
other parts
works fine if the sum of length( whatever1 ) + 1 + length( whatever2 ) 
is the same as the length of the cadenza:

\version "2.15.26"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
  }
}

timing = { \cadenzaOn s8*14 \cadenzaOff }

cnotes = \relative c'' {
  \cadenzaOn r4 c8 d e f g c c c b a e4 \bar "dashed" \cadenzaOff
}
mnotes = { \cadenzaOn s8*6 r1\fermata \cadenzaOff }

\score{
<<
    \new Staff << \timing \cnotes >>
    \new Staff \mnotes
>>
}
