David,

Thank you for your information. 
Had you looked at my snippet (attached again) you would have seen that I
used "\grace s8" in the other two voices.
The problem still exists.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Mark

Don't use an \acciaccatura for that purpose (namely for matching the timing
of the _actual_ \acciaccatura that you want).  Just use \grace s4 (or
whatever).  An \acciaccatura comes with slashed stem and a slur.
You don't want that.  The workaround is for the sake of "grace timing"
which is employed by all of \acciaccatura, \appoggiatura, \grace, and
possibly some other stuff, so the unadorned \grace is best for fudging in
pure spacing material.
