Bug: grace note followed by ritard., a tempo

When NWC 1.75 encounters a ritard. following a grace note, it starts the ritard. before the grace note.
NWC2 starts it after. A reasonable change which causes few problems unless there is an a tempo. Then, NWC2 sometimes gets confused and adds extra tempo(s) after the a tempo.

This clip distills and exagerates the problem:

!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
If you press F5, you will see a running time of: 11:04
If you remove the grace rest, the running time changes to: 8:24

This mf2t output shows the problem. The erroneous tempo generated is in red.
