No, the request is to allow user-override of 'use-breve-rest in cases where  
it's currently forced by the Multi_measure_rest_engraver.  It's not  
supposed to be user-serviceable (it's a flag to tell the stencil callback  
how to display rests based on information inside the engraver).

I'd imagine the snippet above should be as follows,

{
  \time 4/2
  \override MultiMeasureRest #'use-breve-rest = ##f
  R1*4/2 |
}

since the engraver already sets 'use-breve-rest to #t for a full-bar rest  
in 4/2.  I've attached a png which shows what should happen were this  
snippet to work properly.
