Well, 2.16.2 behaves identical to 2.18.0 if you try the old syntax

\version "2.16.0"
\relative c' {
    \override TupletBracket #'direction = #DOWN
    \times 2/3 { f8[( e]) f }
    \times 2/3 { g8[( f]) g }
    \times 2/3 { a8[( g]) a }
    \times 2/3 { b8[( a]) b }
}

It is worth noting that doing a \once\stemUp on the last note will fix
the reversal.  Which does not make a whole lot of sense with regard to
the placement, so it is probably a decision not based on the outlines
but rather on the direction of the last stem, never mind that the stem
is not actually relevant for the slur but only for the bracket.
