Here you use cueDuring in the second measure, so you try to quote the second 
measure from the oboe voice, which has only one measure...

Neither. I think you misunderstood cueDuring... It is not meant to insert the 
exact specified music. Instead, you give it a full voice, and it will 
automatically extract the notes from the proper bar numbers.
If you write a full Oboe part, and then the clarinet part, this feature allows 
you to quote from the full oboe part, so you don't have to worry about which 
notes you want to quote. LilyPond will automatically choose the right notes to 
insert, so you don't have to write the quoted notes yourself.

Actually, no. I solved that in 2.13:
http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/notation/writing-
parts.html#formatting-cue-notes

Please note that this is the documentation for the development version, so 
that link might break any time in the future. However, this functionality is 
not yet documented in the docs on lilypond.org...

Cheers,
Reinhold
