That's not really surprising.  The "repeats are shown" just by changing
the bar line type, there is no actual repetition of the graphical
content.  If you use \expandRepeats on the graphical representation, the
effect will be just as with the Midi, causing a repeat only in the
actual music containing the repeat instructions.

They are just as effective as a \mark called "D.C. al fine".
