Notation manual 1.2.6, Grace notes has a warning under Known issues and 
warnings.

Any time you have a grace at (I believe just after) a bar line you must 
replicate 
the grace spacing in all staves.  In your case \grace s8 will do.

Many of us deal with this with a global that sets up time changes, etc

global = { \time 4/4 s1 \time 3/4 \grace s8 s2. }

\new Staff << \global { c''1 c''2. } >> 
\new Staff << \global { c''1 \grace b'8 c''2. } >> 

Usually I include the \global in the top staff ( or top of each group of 
staves).
You may see how this relates to your solution.
