Add
\once \override Tie.minimum-length = 3
or put it in startGraceMusic/stopGraceMusic (commented)

\version "2.19.24"
%
% startGraceMusic =  {
%   \temporary \override Tie.stencil = #ly:tie::print
%   \temporary \override Tie.minimum-length = 3
% }
%
% stopGraceMusic =  {
%   \revert Tie.stencil
%   \revert Tie.minimum-length
% }
%
\relative c'' {
  c
  \grace {
    \once \override Tie.minimum-length = 3
    <g ~ g' ~>8
  }
  <g g'>16 ees' aes,8 c4 c |
}
