This used to work with LilyPond 1.6.x (I am updating a score
written for 1.6), that's why I thought that was a regression.

Here is what I am trying to achieve:

\score {

     S   1-----       S
  /============||=====||
  |                      Dal Segno
  \============||=====||
     S                S
}

\score {

    2----
  /=========||
  |
  |=========||
  |
  \=========|| 

}

That is, in the 2nd volta, there is 3 staves, whereas before there
were only 2. So I split the whole score into two scores, the second
one beginning by \set Score . repeatCommands = #'((volta "2")).
I don't want a \bar "|:" there. HaraKiri is not option (it would make
disappear one staff in the first sub score in some places, which I
don't want).
