Thanks Jim. Your example solved it for me. I thought I was using explicit voices because I declared voices using a \new Voice {} construct, but I hadn't named them explicitly, and that seems to be the difference. Now I am seeing real warnings rather than these ones about rests and that helps me

Here is a minimal (real) example of one measure that generates four warnings. As you can see the rests in the third voice are simply invoked as r4 while the ones in the second voice are given explicit locations (which, again, I want to do in this case). (I realize the notation convention here
