Did you not notice what happened to the key signature in my third example?  Not 
pretty.  Why it doesn’t happen in your “fixed” example I don’t know.  What I am 
recommending is simply what the Notation Manual recommends:  

        "This can be remedied by inserting grace skips of the corresponding 
durations in the other staves.” 

 I think that your solution will not always fix the problem satisfactorily.
