Thanks for the report. The problem is that \grace implicitly overrides and 
reverts the direction, and that your override is interpreted after this 
implicit override. Ideally, this shouldn't happen, and it is related to the 
way grace note timing is handled. A robust workaround is to move the 
\override to after the grace block.

I added it to bug CVS as grace-override.ly:

\header {
texidoc = "
Voice.Stem #'direction override before a grace block doesn't work.
The override is done after the grace block's implicit override, and gets 
reverted by the
implicit revert.

Workaround: Do the override after the grace block instead.
"
reportedin = "2.7.7"
}

\version "2.6.0"
\layout {raggedright=##t}
\relative {
  \override Voice.Stem #'direction = #-1
  \grace { d32 } d4
}
