Wide whole measure rests

The R rest sometimes takes up more horizontal space than one would
expect.  The example below illustrates this.  In measures 1 through 4
we have a melody in the treble clef and rests in the bass clef.  In
measures 5 through 8, we have the same melody in the treble clef and
harmony in the bass clef.  We would expect measures 5 through 8 to take
up about the same amount of horizontal space as measures 1 through 4,
but in fact Lily allocates them only about half the space.  The remainder
of the example illustrates that the problem can also occur in 4/4 time.
