In the latter case, I would rather use something like
<< R1 s1^"Allegro vivace" >>
to make sure that it's typeset at the beginning of the
measure.

If I remember correctly, one of the main reasons that the
R1^... feature was added, was to be able to typeset a
full measure rest with a fermata on top of it.
