At least it's ugly.

\shape will not work without other settings - same problem sometimes
happens with tied chords.

See:

{
  \time 2/1
  <b f' g' b''>1~
  <b f' g' b''>1
}

As far as I understand TieColumn steps in and sets certain values, not
always the best ones.
To circumvent use in-chord Ties with direction-modifiers and throw
'positioning-done with value '():

{
  \time 2/1
  <b_~ f'_~ g'^~ b''^~ >1
  \once\override TieColumn.positioning-done = #'()
  <b f' g' b''>1
}

Now \shape is usable. Your example could be like:

\relative {
  \set tieWaitForNote = ##t
  \grace {
    b8_~
    f'_~
    g-\shape #'((0 . 0.6) (0.25 . 0.8) (0.75 . 0.8) (1 . 0.6)) ^~
  }
    \once\override TieColumn.positioning-done = #'()
  <b, f' g b'>1
}
