even for the original library, the grid messes up once you have more than one 
axis. Is there any workaround for that?

Can you tell me how I use this patch? Another enhancement would be the same 
funtionality for the X-axis...

1 -patch the code (from 1.0.0)
2 -genereate a new jar
3 - modify the renderer as explained
renderer.addUserYGrid(new UserYGrid("Freezing",0.0, 
Color.BLUE,BasicStroke.DASHED));
renderer.addUserYGrid(new UserYGrid("Boiling",100.0, 
Color.RED,BasicStroke.DASHED));
renderer.setShowUserYGrid(true);

voila !

A few comments about the provided patch:
* what is line #44?
* Why does GraphicalView return a reference to the chart?
* This is an XY charts specific feature. Why is this stuff set in the 
DefaultRenderer instead of XYMultipleSeriesRenderer?
* Why is the code less documented than the main ACE code?

Instead of adding new code, you can do this with the existing APIs. Example:
renderer.setShowCustomTextGrid(true);
renderer.addXTextLabel(7.5, "");
renderer.addYTextLabel(7.5, "");
