I have worked very little with tablature, but it looks like \hideNotes
and \unHideNotes are causing the problem. The weirdness goes away if I
remove them. Fixing the problem is just a matter of removing these
commands from the tablature staff without removing them from the
normal one.

Tags are probably the most efficient way to do this.

%%%

symbols = {
  % ...
  \tag #'normal \hideNotes \grace { dis32\5\glissando } \tag #'normal
\unHideNotes fis16\5
  % ...
}

\new StaffGroup <<
        \keepWithTag #'normal \new Staff {
        \clef "G_8"
        \symbols
        }
        \removeWithTag #'normal \new TabStaff {
        \clef "moderntab"
        \symbols
        }
>>

%%%

Hope this helps,
