One of our oldest bugs: http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=34
Workaround: 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/special-rhythmic-concerns
                   Scroll down to "Known issues and warnings"

Your example:

\version "2.16"

<<

\new Staff {

\relative c' { \slashedGrace c8 c1 }

}

\new Staff {

\clef bass

\relative c { \grace s8 c1 }

}

>>
