Can't confirm with 2.19.32
Though, in general it's issue 34
https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/34/
At least related.

Try:

\version "2.19.3"

catOne = {\grace {b'16} a'2 d'}
catTwo = {\grace {s16} c'2 b}
dogOne = {\grace {s16} a'2 b'}
dogTwo = {\grace {s16} c'2 d'}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff = "cats"
    \with { instrumentName = #"2 Cats" }
    {
       << \catOne \\ \catTwo >>
    }

    \new Staff = "dogs"
    \with { instrumentName = #"2 Dogs" }
    {
       \partcombine \dogOne \dogTwo
    }
  >>
}

IMHO, we should really get rid of advertising \set
Staff.instrumentName = ... and go for \with { instrumentName = ... }
everywhere.
