"it makes you wonder how much of the audio signal may getting filtered out by that cap when it's good."
In terms of grid signal, I don't see the difference between grounding a tiny portion through the C- rail filter, or connecting the grid resistor directly to ground. In any event, it's the C- filter that the grid resistor sees, not the rectifier ahead of it. Maybe you're hearing a reduction in IM due to more effective filtering at 120 Hz. Even with a half-wave rectifier though, ripple should be really tiny. Difficult to imagine how it could produce audible levels of IM unless the filter is defective...
