to align the tempo mark to the bar-line, if the measure contains only full-bar rests. See also issue 712.

\version "2.17.29"
{ \compressFullBarRests
  R1*20 \tempo "Tempo" R1*20
  \tempo "Tempo" \key b\minor  R1*20
  \tempo "Tempo"  g'1 R1 }

With the (undocumented and for MetronomeMarks only) additional alignment property from issue 684, there are settings, which could be made default, to produce this behavior:
\override Score.MetronomeMark #'break-align-symbols =
#'(time-signature key-signature key-cancellation staff-bar)
\override Score.MetronomeMark #'non-break-align-symbols =
#'(note-column-interface multi-measure-rest-interface)
