Hi Jan-Peter,

some thoughts on a minimal example...

\version "2.18.2"

%% for comparability
%% without any override:
{ \grace { c''16 s4 }  bis'8 }


myLayout = \layout { \override Score.SpacingSpanner.strict-note-spacing = ##t }

%% collision
\score { { \grace { c''16 }  bis'8 } \myLayout }

%% returns:
%% programming error: Cannot determine neighbors for floating column.
%% this was my first thought, no idea what's wrong, never seen this error before
\score { { \grace { c''16 s4 }  bis'8 } \myLayout }

%% not sure why this works
%% textLengthOn is _not_ set
\score { { \grace { c''16-\markup \hspace #3 }  bis'8 } \myLayout }

%% inserting a Rest works
%% r8 is too much r16 to less
%% thus scaling to avoid the dot
\score { { \grace { c''16 \once \omit Rest r16*3/2 }  bis'8 } \myLayout }


HTH a bit,
