The fact that it doesn't work is indeed interesting.
I don't know how to fix it right now, but there is a workaround:

{
  \once \override MultiMeasureRestText #'outside-staff-priority = ##f
  \once \override MultiMeasureRestText #'Y-offset = #0
  R1 -\markup "(  )"
}

you may turn this into a music function or something and it will be
quite convenient i think.

HTH,
