I also tried to get this solved. And moving this rest showed me, that it
is only the space between the staffs that is missing, once the beam
brackets are set correctly.

Your solution works perfectly. My question is: Is that the way such
spacing issues are handled? Or is there a preferred way using some staff
spacing instead of using space around a rest, that happens to be close by?
