http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/special-rhythmic-concerns:

"Each grace note in MIDI output has a length of 1/4 of its actual duration. 
If the combined length of the grace notes is greater than the length of the 
preceding note a "Going back in MIDI time"error will be generated. Either 
make the grace notes shorter in duration, for example"

Does this explain the problem and does the workaround help?
