Funnily, I've never come across this property even though it was 
introduced as early as 2015:

     property to set voiced-rest positions; issue 3902

See also https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/work_items/3902. Does 
the discussion in that issue cover what's bothering you in the current 
behaviour?

Internally, voiced-position is read in Rest::staff_position_internal if 
staff-position is not set manually for the rest in question. For rests 
shorter than a minim, the voiced-position is taken as-is; for longer 
rests, the rest gets aligned to a staff line, but I don't have time at 
the moment to understand how the voiced-position override gets used in 
that case.

I don't know exactly what triggered your question, but I'd suspect that 
the answer might be: Just use staff-position.
