Has anyone noticed:

Normal weapons range TNs: 4, 5, 6, 9
Grenade range TNs: 4, 5, 8, 9

Is this a mistake?

It's more dificult to throw something accurately, than it is to shoot
something accurately....

Unless it's a fired grenade you're talking about in which case we could be
talking about aerodynamics...?

<shrug> Where are you finding this? I just checked my handy-dandy GM's
screen and it lists them under the same heading as firearms, with the
same TNs.

I know, that's what surprised me before - most of the time (I haven't got
the screen, made my own) I see the weapons ranges as the one list
including grenade ranges. However, in SRII, the grenade range table is
separate (pg.96), and lists different TNs! I know it makes sense - the
human/metahuman arm is not particularly accurate when distance is
required, but I was just checking to see if was an error or not.

You're right, the table on page 96 of SRII gives Long range a TN 8 for
grenades. I think it's a typo, also because the range table in FOF uses
the normal TN of 6 for Long range.
