First of all, please provide compilable examples! I got a segfault on my
machine trying to compile your attachment.
The version statement "2.18.0-1" is the culprit.

Nevertheless, I inserted "\grace s8" in *every* voice at the spot where
the clef change is about to happen (and before \clef "treble") and this
seems to work. It does not look perfect, the treble clef nearly touches
the key signature.

HTH,
