I admit I wasn't thinking as clearly as I could have been.  The problems 
I've seen may have been more with \grace but I have had problems tuplet 
beaming being not as automatic as I would have expected.  When and if I 
find examples of this I'll post them.

Indeed the word beam does not appear in that section of the 2.8 manual.  
A point is that there are two tuplet grouping indications:  beams and 
brackets.  It's not clear whether tupletSpannerDuration applies to the 
beam or the bracket.
