If it's that old, it may be that adding the NullVoice is adding the implication that there are two voices, a \voiceOne (melody) and \voiceTwo (bassline). This would drop the rests and also make low notes stem down (do you get this effect?). If that is (or rather was) so, I don't think that happens in newer versions. But it's always necessary to be aware of what LilyPond adds to your code by way of its implication rather than your intent. > 2.
