the following example works perfectly with version 2.14.2:

\relative {
  \repeat volta 2 {
    \repeat unfold 3 { a b c d } %\break
    \repeat unfold 3 { a b c d } %\break
    a b c d 
  }
  \alternative { 
    {e f g h }
    {a b c d }
  }
}
% \paper { system-count = #3 }

if needed you can uncomment the \breaks or the system-count.
