Thanks for doing the beta testing. :)

It's fixed in git; I forgot to make sure that the volta bracket checks
for the new barline strings when deciding to hide the right edge.

I'm not sure why, but I think it's to do with using \bar instead of
start- & end-repeat .  Try this:

\relative c' {
  c1
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1.") start-repeat)
  c
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) end-repeat start-repeat
(volta "2."))
  c \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) end-repeat)  \break

  \set Score.doubleRepeatType = #":|.|:"
  c1
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "3.") start-repeat)
  c
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) end-repeat start-repeat
(volta "4."))
  c \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) end-repeat)  \break

  \set Score.doubleRepeatType = #":|.:"
  c1
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "5.") start-repeat)
  c
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) end-repeat start-repeat
(volta "6."))
  c \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) end-repeat)  \break
}

It certainly is if you're using \bar.   Explicit \bar commands
override repeat commands.
