With the code at the end of this report, I get pretty good output, but

the following in the log file:
warning: too many colliding rests
The warning is not always a false alarm, sometimes LilyPond fails to place
the
two rests "correctly". I suspect that her rules for placement require
keeping
rests away from the line of the third voice, so the warning tells us she
cannot
not satisfy all her rules.
\version "2.12"

I suppose desired behavior could be for LilyPond to prioritize collisions
over
staying out of the line of the third voice, or something like that, but
that
seems more an enhancement request than bug report.
My preference is for all my lily source to compile cleanly, so a warning
when there's actually no problem is annoying. Given the other collisions
that can occur and don't produce a warning, I'd view this warning when
there's no collision as a bug. Low priority, but still a bug.
