I find it a bit strange that a none active control still draws the graticule
on the map if it is moved, but that could just be me finding it strange ;)

My solution is now that I put events on the control that hides the layer
every time it is deactivated and turn them on again when activated. Also the
Control is added to the map without being activated:

  var gratControl = new OpenLayers.Control.Graticule({
    autoActivate: false
    ,visible: false
    ,eventListeners: {
        "activate": function(event) {
          this.visible = true;
          this.gratLayer.setVisibility(true);
      }
      ,"deactivate": function(event) {
          this.visible = false;
          this.gratLayer.setVisibility(false);
      }
    }
  });
  map.addControl(gratControl);
