I can’t make this happen:
Here is me trying:

Any advice? There are no errant “start voice here” or “end voice here” toggles selected, and this is a fresh score; no working off xml or midi.

Just tried, if you show voice colors, the bar rest might be in the downstem voice already, so try changing the rest pos, then add a rest in the upstem voice if needed.

It’ll also help if you have "‘Show every rest in each voice’ selected in Notation Options/Rests.
