It's nothing to do with \compressMMRests.  This behaves the same:

P_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One = \relative {
  R1*2
  r2 r4 r8 r16 r32 r64 r64 |
}

Rather it is to do with mixing very long and very short notes in the same
spacing section.

This behaves correctly:

P_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One = \relative {
  R1*2
  \newSpacingSection
  r2 r4 r8 r16 r32 r64 r64 |
}
