Rest at start breaks lyric spacing

It's pretty obscure but I found it eventually...

Version 2.8.0 on Windows XP

If there is a rest at the start of a staff then vertical spacing of lyrics
does not work.

For example, in this piece the lyrics are spaced away from the staff:

\version "2.8.0"
\score { \context Voice = mv { a'4 b' c'' d'' }
    \addlyrics {
        \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-2 . 8)
        one two three four
        }
}

But in this version (with added rest) the vertical spacing is ignored:

\version "2.8.0"
\score { \context Voice = mv { r4 a'4 b' c'' d'' }
    \addlyrics {
        \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-2 . 8)
        one two three four
        }
}

One workaround is to add a hidden note before the rest, and a skip in the
lyrics.
