Well, to my mind, that phrase only ambiguously describes what they do.
Because there are two visual issues here: whether & what the glyph is;
and whether space - to be filled or left empty - is being made for it.
"Invisible rest" doesn't settle both of these.

Come to think of it, "*spacer rest*" instead actually comes closer --
assuming anyway somewhere a strict definition.
