Lilypond is treating the "tremolo" stuff differently than the "unfold"s.  Try
your file without the barline checks to see the difference.
(I don't know offhand if this is correct behaviour or not; refer to the refman
and send another query if you think it's wrong)

\score
{
  \context Voice \notes \relative c {
     \time 12/8
     \repeat "unfold" 18 { c'32 f32 } \repeat "unfold" 6 { b32 e32 } 
     \repeat "unfold" 18 { c,32 f32 } \repeat "unfold" 6 { b32 e32 } 
     \repeat "tremolo" 18 { c,32 f32 } \repeat "tremolo" 6 { b32 e32 } 
     \repeat "tremolo" 18 { c,32 f32 } \repeat "tremolo" 6 { b32 e32 } 
 }
}
