It's not only grace notes between the 2nd and 3rd, if you have a grace note before the block of four eighths it splits them up into pairs. (It does this wherever you introduce a grace note).
Also, if you use the old tie-into-the-next-bar method of hitting a quarter note rather than the required eighth, and having the too-many-notes option as "Move the extra notes into the next measure" create the tie for you, it breaks up that block of four as well. Since you can now tie backwards into the previous bar, this really doesn't matter so much any more, but in the old days it did (to me at least).
