See the Known issues and warnings in the section of the Notation 
Reference on upbeats. \partial should only used at the start of a piece. 
You can use either Score.measureLength or Timing.measurePosition at the end:

\relative c' {
    \repeat volta 2 {
        \partial 8 c8 |
        c4 c c c |
        \set Score.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 7 8) c c c c8 |
    }
}

\relative c' {
    \repeat volta 2 {
        \partial 8 c8 |
        c4 c c c |
        \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -7 8) c c c c8 |
    }
}
