As I suspected, the problem is in the definition of
\centerbar. If one inserts \let\adv@box\hbox before #1,
then \centerpause, \centerhpause, \centerPAuse, etc. are
all correctly centered. Jean-Pierre's definitions aren't
necessary but won't affect the operation of a revised
\centerbar. All the multi-bar rests in Werner's rests.tex
are improved by this one change.
As for pmx.tex, Don says

but in fact pmx.tex doesn't use \centerbar at all; rather it
uses a new command \Centerbar defined in pmx.tex with the
comment
% CenterBar and mbrest modified 2/01 to account for simick mods in
% musixtex 1.01
so the offsets in \pausc and other commands defined in
pmx.tex (which would be unnecessary and incorrect with
a revised \centerbar) won't be affected by correcting
\centerbar. Don will have to decide whether to simplify
pmx.tex.
