Thank you :-) By the way, it would be easier to update to the current 
development version if you need
general tablature support.  There are a lot of enhancements, and the use 
of tablature.ly is obsolete.

Thanks for your observations! As a workaround, you can use

\override TabVoice.MultiMeasureRestText #'transparent = ##t

or

\layout {
 \context {
 \TabVoice
 \override MultiMeasureRestText #'transparent = ##t
 }
}

in your file. I'll prepare a patch, so I hope this is fixed in the next 
release (2.13.32).

Greetings

Marc
