Reported by MusFelix:

When a slur connects two notes that have a rest in between, the slur is
placed up, even if it would otherwise be down.  Needless to say, this looks
bad, and one has to manually adjust it every time it occurs.  Thus:

\version "2.13.51"
\include "english.ly"
\relative c
{
    \clef bass
    c8( r c) r c( c c) r

    % What it should look like:
    \slurDown
    c8( r c) r c( c c) r
}

I noticed a while ago that LilyPond treats rests as if they had stems, with the
direction of the imaginary stems being the 'neutral-direction'.
You can change the slur in your example with.
    \override Stem #'neutral-direction = #UP
Not very useful, but maybe a clue for fixing the bug.
