Sometimes this final note is different from either of the notes in the "body" of the trill, e.g. Haydn Sonata 42, Adagio, b.17. In some sense these grace notes are attached to the previous note semantically, though arguably they aren't really grace notes.

Something like Chopin's Mazurka Op 30 no 2 even has grace notes both before and after the same barline (e.g. bb.38-39). These are semantically still attached to the following note, though.

I have not seen examples in the literature where grace/appoggiaturas immediately precede a barline, as in Simon's example. But it's quite possible that I've missed this. It would be great for the MNX effort if you could supply an example of this case from the literature.

I find various examples for Nachschlag (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verzierung_(Musik)#Nachschlag <https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verzierung_%28Musik%29#Nachschlag>,http://www.klavier-noten.com/musik-literatur/VERZIERUNGEN.pdf <http://www.klavier-noten.com/musik-literatur/VERZIERUNGEN..pdf>), but none for passing appoggiatura. Maybe passing appoggiatura it is not the correct English term. But Nachschlag seems to be well known.

They simply precede the following notes, in their order of occurrence on the page or in a document.

Although one could write it and encode it, its interpretation would be unclear to a performer. It's not so much that the layout is correct or incorrect, as that the conventional interpretation of a grace note or appoggiatura is dependent on some normal note that follows it in the same measure.
