Well, I'd rather interpret the results as "the grace time didn't get set by
the failing kernel, only quotacheck would set it". This configuration with
softlimit == hardlimit is a bit ambiguous (as effectively softlimit and
grace time are unused) and I might have shortcut setting of grace time in
this case somewhere (which would be harmless). But still it warrants closer
investigation. I'll have a look.

Thanks for digging into this!
