What do you suggest?

We have some specific documentation that says (as an example)

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/long-repeats

If there are more repeats than there are alternate endings, the earliest 
repeats are given the first alternative.

We also say:

If a repeat starts in the middle of a measure and has no alternate 
endings, normally the end of the repeat will also fall in the middle of 
a measure, so that the two ends add up to one complete measure. In such 
cases, the repeat signs do not constitute true bar lines. Do not use 
\partial commands or bar checks where these repeat signs are printed:

Does this not cover this (with regard to bar checks?), else can you 
suggest something as I am not exactly sure what the issue was here.
