That's close, too, but not correct ;-)

You're almost there...

Actually, no. What is needed is a correct value for the beatGrouping ;-) You 
don't want 3 eighth notes to be beamed together, do you? You want the beams to 
be broken after EACH eighth note. So the correct value is to set beat Grouping 
to #'(1 1 1 1 1 1 ), which tells lilypond to beam together all subdivisions of 
an eighth note, but don't beam across eighth note boundaries.

So, your complete example would be:
\transpose c  c'' {
  \clef treble
  \time 6/8
  \repeat volta 2 {
     \set Score.beatGrouping = #'(1 1 1 1 1 1)
     \times 2/3 { bes16 g es }
     \override TupletNumber #'stencil = ##f
     \repeat unfold 5 { \times 2/3 { bes16 g es } } |
     \repeat unfold 6 { \times 2/3 { bes16 as es }  } |
  }
}

Cheers,
Reinhold
