Text of original post follows:

----------

%% When using \parenthesize on whole bar or multi measure rests, no  
parentheses

%% will be printed:

\version "2.14.2"

\paper { ragged-right=##t }

\parenthesize R1

Thomas Morley very kindly posted a link to a previous discussion on this  
topic which gave some workarounds. Link to his post:

and the earlier discussion he linked to:

Finally, I had a look and found an open issue tracker about parentheses on  
breath marks which may be related:
