I'm with Johannes on this one -- it looks inconsistent for no meaningful reason.
Except that it could be like this in the source. In which case I, too, would leave it like that and let the performer decide which logic if any he/she wants to deduct from it.
The problem with grace note length is that some composers try to be very consistent, and it seems to me that some, if not many, were indicating the more or less exact length they want them to be (CPE Bach reports that as a new practice, and it seems to make a lot of sense, eg in the Mozart string quartets, contrary to what the NMA is trying to suggest in certain cases).
Of course I am aware that there was not always difference between a slashed 8th grace note and a 16th grace note in print, so no need to discuss this.
