Well, it’s merely printed the way the source code’s requesting it.
\voiceOne rests are consistently placed at the top of the staff.

I *think* your best bet would be to take a look at the
#Merge_rests_engravers (in scm/scheme-engravers.scm), which should be
able to handle that sort of case (I just checked; it currently
doesn’t). You could then \consist it into all your Staff contexts by
default.

By the way, why is xml2ly \tempo markup so convoluted when you could have simply

    \tempo "" 4 = 110

(plus, it would remove the need for \markup \note, whose syntax has
recently changed.)
