I suspect the first suggestion failed because MultiMeasureRestText refers to the automatically-generated text box that contains the number of measures, not to any additional user-supplied markup.
Wrong guess, the numbers are handled by the MultiMeasureRestNumber layout object. However, if you go through the program reference for the different layout objects, you will notice that TextScript has among its interfaces the item-interface, which MultiMeasureRestText doesn't have. This is where the no-spacing-rods property is defined. I don't know the implementation details well enough to explain this difference, though.
