Thanks, Harm.  But that still doesn't work in the case where the
volta is at the beginning of the piece, and the engraver wishes
an explicit bar line.

Lily by default doesn't engrave an open volta at the start of a
piece, or at a double-barline.  I don't know how many others do,
but I, for one, often override this.

Both of these cases fail:

\version "2.19.3"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    startRepeatType = #"||"
    endRepeatType = #"||"
    %% not needed in the minimal example
    %doubleRepeatType = #"||"
  }
}

\score {
  \new Staff {
%    c'1
    \bar "||"
    \repeat volta 2 { c'1 c'1 }
  }
}

\score {
  \new Staff {
%    c'1
    \bar ".|:"
    \repeat volta 2 { c'1 c'1 }
  }
}
