I think it's always been like this. I checked in Finale 2004b: it is
also necessary to use the slash key on both the grace note and the
eighth note. I think there is also a difference depending on if you
create the grace notes as you go along, or if you first write
everything as normal notes (de-selecting the "check for extra notes"
option) and then go back to turn some notes into grace notes.
It's quite infuriating, since you can't see how many times the slash
key has been pressed on a particular note.

Yes, this is strange new (I think) behaviour in Finale 2009 (maybe
even 2008).
In Speedy, you have to hit the / key on the second grace note AND
then on the second eighth note. If you hit it on the same note
twice, it won't work no matter how many times you hit the slash key
on the other note (so if you have already tried this several times
and have pressed the slash key an EVEN number of times, you won't
get it to work until you have pressed it ONE more time and moved on
to the other note.
I remember this behaviour as being position the cursor on the GRACE
note and hit the slash (instead of the more obvious: position the
cursor on the EIGHTH note.) But now you have to do it on BOTH
notes, and only an odd number of times, never even!
