Whole Measure Rests align in the editor, but not in Print Preview.
Workaround is to add invisible barlines:

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Bar|Visibility:Never
|Rest|Dur:Whole
|Bar|SysBreak:Y
|Bar|Visibility:Never
|Rest|Dur:Whole
|Bar
|Rest|Dur:Whole
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

IMO, Whole Measure Rests must align in any given bar across the entire system regardless of signature contents/visibility.

Yup, I concur...

Agreed. Interestingly enough, if you include the clef and time sig in the upper staff of the first example, but leave the key signature out, the rests line up in the first and third bars but not in the second.

<edit> This is due to the absence of the key sig, so it would be a problem on every new system - not just with a forced system break.

We are making a change in Beta 2.23 that might help this.

Better, however if you take my first two clips and make the Eb Key invisible, the rests misalign after the SysBreak (in Print Preview) .
