Have a look at the "Known issues" in the Notation Reference, under
1.2.6 Special rhythmic concerns

and change your code for something like

\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff <<
    \new Voice {
      \clef violin
      \key bes \major
      \time 4/4
      \grace a'8 (
      a''1 )
    }
  >>
  \new Staff <<
    \new Voice {
      \clef bass
      \key bes \major
      \grace s8 % <<== dummy grace in order to synchronize <<==
      c1
    }
