Why not delete it?
We have something smiliar in the NR
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/long-repeats


In case we keep it, I'd suggest to change the description how it is
explained in the NR:
"
An ‘opening’ repeat mark is not, by default, printed in the first full
measure. However it is possible to add one by using \bar ".|:" before
the first note.
"
