Works in 2.18.0.  I suspect

    Fix unproper nesting of various property overrides
    
    Due to the unavailability of \temporary\override, \acciaccatura and
    \slashedGrace had been losing any previous setting of
    Flag.stroke-style.
    
    \crossStaff had been losing the previous setting of Flag.style.
    
    \harmonicByFret and \harmonicDots had been losing the previous setting
    of TabNoteHead.stencil, NoteHead.Y-extent and NoteHead.stencil.
    
    \temporary\override is employed in this patch for fixing those
    shortcomings.

from issue
<URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2898>, fixed in
version 2.17.6.

And indeed, reverting the pertinent part of this patch reintroduces the
problem.  So try upgrading to LilyPond 2.18 and your problem should
disappear.
