Hi Steven,

thanks for your report.

It might be a bug or not. I'm not sure.

Though, I guess you likely want to achieve something like:

\version "2.17.29"
\language "english"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves
    \override VerticalAxisGroup.remove-first = ##t
  }
}
\score {
    <<
    \new Staff
    {
        \compressFullBarRests
        \override MultiMeasureRest.expand-limit = #1

        \clef bass
        \key f \major

        \repeat unfold 5 { c4 d e f | }
        R1*5 |
        \break
        \repeat unfold 5 { c4 d e f | }
    }

        \new Staff
        {
            \clef bass
            \key f \major

            R1*10
            \repeat unfold 5 {  c,4 d, e, f, | }
        }
        >>
}

Cheers,
  Harm
