I used 2.7.4-1, the latest available download.

I tried to embed various forms of it into my own code. The variation  
that works for me looks like:

\score {
\new Staff <<
\relative {
  \tempo 4 = 144
  \key e \minor
  \time 7/16
  #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 7 16) 4 16)
  % ...
  \repeat volta 2 {
    fis8.\trill^\markup { \italic "Accordion" }
      a16  g16 fis e  | dis8.\trill fis16  e dis c |
    b16 c dis8\trill  c16 b a   | b16 c dis e  fis8\trill b,16 |
    fis'8.\trill a16  g16 fis e | dis8.\trill fis16  e dis c |
    b16 c dis8\trill  c16 b a   | b8.\trill fis16  b8\trill
     r16
     \once \override Score.RehearsalMark
       #'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible
     \mark \markup { \center-align {\italic "D.C." \italic "al  
Fine" } }
     |
  }
  \key e \minor
}
>>
}

Forms looking more like in the manual didn't work when I tried.

Thanks for the info. I think though that it is not uncommon to have  
D.C. and D.S. under the barline. For example, "Tico-Tico" by Abreu  
puts "D.S. al Fine" in columns under the barline, and the sign above  
the it. Hindemith, "Elementary Training", also puts it below (though  
not directly under the barline).
