This would be a collision bug.  Please report on the bug-lilypond list.

However, Stone says the following:

"It used to be customary to slur grace notes to the main note, but since
such slurs are superfluous it is recommended that they be omitted.  As a
result of this omission, a tied grace note becomes more immediately
recognizable.  Should it be desired to perform a grace note detached, which
is very rare, a staccato dot will serve to indicate this."

It is possible to adjust the slur end points.  See the LSR for ways to do
this.

The distance to the main notes is controlled by the 'shortest-duration-space
of the GraceSpacing grob.

I have been unable to determine how to change the size of grace notes.
