As the docs state, the decision about which partcombiner mode to choose 
(Apart, Chords, SoloI, SoloII) is hard, and can frequently mismatch with 
the user's expectations. In that case, it is OK to specify the mode 
yourself.

So: add \partcombineApart before bar 2 in either of your voices. You can 
revert in two ways:
(1) \undo \partcombineApart
(2) \partcombineAutomatic
