That would to me be some kind of grace with some kind of tuplet feeling. Could 
be an appoggiatura, where 3 notes take 1/8 time from the main note, could 
also be the very theoretical case 
{ \grace {\times 2/3 {b16[ b b]} b16[ b]} b8 }
which would mean that the first 3 notes are a bit faster.

I don't think I have never seen grace note tuplets in reality, & don't know if 
they really exist. I just assumed that they do.

In any case, I think this is a bug; either the tuplet bracket should be taken 
around only the involved notes, or the concept of having grace tuplets is an 
invalid concept and a warning or error should occur.
