Thanks, that fixed it.   The placement of the rests isn't exactly what I want 
when I let Lilypond do it automatically, although now with the explicit voice 
markings it's at least sensible.   I am a bit puzzled that even with explicit 
marking, I don't actually have that much control over where the head of the 
rest lands.   I want the bottom rest head to be at e, and the top at e', but 
when I specify that, they wind up at f and f' respectively, and changing for 
example to d and d' doesn't change the position of the rest.

(Obviously not a problem that really needs to be solved, but I found it curious 
that one could specify the note on which a rest would land, but that that 
specification would be treated so loosely.)
