No bug, just my mistake. Sorry about that. Anyhow this is a great tip
that I'm sure everybody wants to know about. Try this.

%%%%%%%%
\version "2.7.10"

\score {
\relative c'' {
  \repeat volta 2 { a b c d }
  \alternative { { d' c b a } { e c d b } }
}
}
\markup { Adjacent volta brackets are put on different height. }

\score {
\relative c'' {
  \repeat volta 2 { a b c d }
  \alternative { { d' c b a } { e c d b } }
}
\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \override VoltaBracket #'Y-offset-callbacks = #(list
Staff_symbol_referencer::callback)
    \override VoltaBracket #'staff-position = #8
  }
}
}
\markup { Now brackets are aligned and the music is inside the bracket. }
%%%%%%%%

Shouldn't this behaviour be the default?
