I suppose because (1) that problem hasn't come up so far and (2) it's much 
easier to add rhythmic-grob-interface (which includes normal rests, but not 
multi-measure rests) to the keepAliveInterfaces than to explicitly list all 
interfaces for rhythmic grobs except the rest-interface...

The only reason I can think of is that with simple rests, one has a way to 
keep a staff alive without any tweaks (although the rests will look strange, 
since they should rather be written as multi-measure rests, so I don't think 
that was the reason).

I would say so. After all, the rest in the pickup measure is something like a 
full-measure rest, although it is not notated as such.

Cheers,
Reinhold
