The e's are in different voices. I'm fairly new to ly, but it didn't take me 
too long to find that ties are not allowed to cross between different voices, 
even in the same staff.

I'm very eager to hear what the solution is, though...

But, I did find the other day that you can get the rest to appear in the middle 
of the staff by writing

     {  b2.\rest f8 [b8]      }

(Side note: on my Ubuntu machine, lilypond 2.14.1 choked on the non-breaking 
spaces copied over from the HTML-formatted e-mail. Tons of "unexpected string" 
errors. I can't think of any good reason why non-breaking spaces should cause 
parsing to fail. Should I file a bug report?)
