Re: unfoldRepeats

[Mats Bengtsson]

Your mistake is that you believe that the repeats can be separated from 
the notes. Please always keep in mind that the input should
describe the musical meaning, not only the resulting layout.
In this case, the music that should be played is c g c a, right.
In notation, you can use repeats as a shorthand and similarly
LilyPond input syntax allows to use \repeat. However, this should
be done together with the music and not separated, as you have done.
I would rather call it a bug that your first example produces the 
result it does.
Just replace
c'4 g a in your examples by
\repeat volta 2 {c'4} \alternative{{ g}{ a}}
