The beam and rests are colliding in the first measure when the rests have specific @ploc and @oloc attributes. The second measure removes the @ploc and @oloc attributes, and the rests no longer collide with the beam (since they are now so low). But also interestingly, the beam in the second measure is higher (and would avoid the rests in the first measure if the same position were used).
