So far my system agrees with yours.

Here we diverge, as I have no trouble TeX'ing it, and it looks just as expected.
 I'm using T.73 (trying to avoid font-bloat).  Maybe you should send me the TeX 
file you got.

The following works for me and I think it does what you want:

    2    2    3    4    3    4   .000    0 
    1    1   20  .05000

The second and third arguments in \mbrest are left- and right- inset 
distances (in points) from the surrounding bar lines, between which 
the multibar rest will be centered.  

The strange construct for the second \atnextbar is only needed if the 
LAST bar of the piece is in the multibar rest.
