My guess is that the hack was introduced to compensate for some version of LilyPond, where the acciaccatura slur was curved upwards by defaul, and was placed at the note heads or even below the beams. The best (?!) way to find out why is probably to try the original code without the extra fix using the original version of LilyPond. You can also get a hint from the layout in the existing PS/PDF versions in Mutopia.

Remove the following line, and it works fine:
\once\override Slur #'extra-offset = #'( 0 . 8 )
\once\override NoteHead #'font-size = #-4 \once\override Stem #'font-size = #-4 e16 }
However, as a programmer and musician, and a maintainer of some Mutopia piece (not the above, though) I need to know what happens here, so I looked up and tried to understand why Keeler (the maintainer of the above Mutopia entry) put the Slur extra-offset there in the first place.
I have cut and tested a minimal example to submit to this list and a picture png so that it should be easy to read and understand the example - hopefully!
Thank you for reading so far:-)
