OK, finally I found the time to deal with this.  I found out that among the
things that \RemoveEmptyStaffContext changes are the settings that merge rests.

I attached a mini-example to demonstrate.  In my normal setup I have a global
include file which pre-defines some layout stuff.  It has a layout block which,
to enable merging of rests, contains:

\context {
  \Staff
  \override RestCollision #'positioning-done = #merge-rests-on-positioning
  \override MultiMeasureRest #'Y-offset = #merge-multi-measure-rests-on-Y-offset
}

I simulated this in my attached example by having a \layout block at the top
of the file.  The result is that, as soon as I add \RemoveEmptyStaffContext to
the score, the rests are no longer merged.  I need to repeat the code from the
global \layout block in the score's \layout (*below* \RemoveEmptyStaffContext).
