You need to place every measure into a separate repeat:

\parallelMusic #'(voiceA voiceB) {
   \key c \major
   \time 4/4

      \repeat volta 2 { c4 c c c }  | %voiceA measure 1
      \repeat volta 2 { c,4 c c c } | %voiceB measure 1

      \repeat volta 2 { g4 g g g } | %voiceA measure 2
      \repeat volta 2 { g,4 g g g } | %voiceB measure 2
}


Then it works just fine.

Cheers,
Reinhold
