Actually, this is not true. The positioned rests are written e.g. as g4 e\rest c4 if you simply replce the e\rest by r4, i.e. g4 r c then you'll get a c in the wrong octave (it should rather be c, in this case!). To be honest, I don't know of any easy way to replace the positioned rests by ordinary rests without messing the relative setiing up...
