Not a bug. Actually, they aren't the same length. If we line up the two
parts I get this:

violin = |: c4 d e f | c2 e :| f2 g | c1 |
viola =  |: c4 d e f | c2 e :| c1   |

So, looking at it by the raw musical content, I see 4 bars for violin and
only 3 for viola. The problem would seem to be the missing 2nd alternative
ending for the viola. Does this help clarify what's going on? The \repeat
function won't automatically duplicate the notes for you. You need to do
that, like you did with the violin part:

viola = \relative c' {
  \repeat volta 2 { c4 d e f | }
  \alternative { { c2 e | } { c2 e | }}
  c1
}

Note that there are fancier ways of dealing with this situation, but see if
what I've explained works for you.

HTH,
Abraham
