"The instructions for forcing a custom duration measure into a whole rest do not work"

On the contrary, Ctrl+Shift+Del does work. But a whole-measure rest looks different for any custom measure which has a longer duration:

I belatedly checked in Elaine Gould's notation handbook Behind Bars, and here is the short section about whole-bar rests:
Gould_Whole-bar_rests.png
Glossary:
Bar (GB) = Measure (US)
Whole-bar rest (GB) = Whole-measure rest (US)
Crotchet (GB) = Quarter note (US)
Semibreve (GB) = Whole note (US)
Breve (GB) = Double whole note (US)
