It is poorly named, but for a different reason. \compressFullBarRests merely sets 'skipBars to #t, which causes bar lines and bars to be suppressed for any rest or note which extends over several bars. See https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3687 There is a music function \compressMMRests available from Release 2.19.20 and later whose action is strictly limited to multi-measure rests. It is likely \compressFullBarRests will be deprecated at some time, or more likely renamed to better indicate its true action.
