It strikes me as conceptually problematic to try to put a fermata on a
multi-measure rest.
Who does this, and what does it mean, musically?
In this example, you are actually placing a fermata on a single bar of rest.
In which case, this works fine:
{ \compressFullBarRests f1->\fermata R1*3 r1\fermata }
As such, \fermataMarkup seems like a solution in search of a problem.
Unless I'm missing the reason why you would consider a single bar of rest
to be multiple bars of rest.
I think I must be missing more of the subtlety of this issue.
Since it hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread, you can also place text
at the start of a multi-measure rest using the empty chord structure:
{ \compressFullBarRests f1->\fermata R1*3 <>^\markup{ "hold me" } R1 }
