Exactly. The detailled example in the other mail I just sent a second ago 
explains why.

The break will be handled by lilypond at moment 4/4 (grace 0), or in short 
4/4G-0.

The acciaccatura d8 is at moment 4/4G-1/8, which is earlier than the break 
above (which is at 4/4G-0). Additionally, the acciaccatura adds a slur from 
moment 4/4G-1/8 to moment 4/4G-0, so the \break appears during an active slur!

It would if you found all split voices in use. But I totally agree that it 
would be much better to have this fixed once and for all.

Cheers,
