Robin's code as a minimal example works fine.
There are 8 32nd notes to the quarter note; he's used one hidden 32nd to 
attach the gliss to, which leaves 7 eighths of a quarter note.

If you're using hidden eighth notes to attach the gliss to, try scaling 
the next note by 1/2 -- e.g.

\hideNotes g,8 \glissando \unHideNotes c'4*1/2

Making such changes to Robin's example acheives similar results with 
tighter spacing.
