Please remember to check a minimal example:
\version "2.9.1"
{
  c2\rest a'2
}
works perfectly.


There may be some issue with manual rests within polyphony... but it 
looks fine here:
\version "2.9.1"
{
  << {
  f''2\rest a'2
  f''2\rest a'2
  } \\ {
  d'2\rest f'2
  s2  f'2
  } >>
}


Try these simple examples on your system.  If they work, then try to 
figure out exactly what the difference is between these examples and 
your situation.
