That's to compensate the partial.

David, you need to use
  \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 6 4)
at the start of the second alternative.

Actually this kind of case is explained in the notation Reference,
NR 1.4.1 Long repeats > Normal repeats :

  When alternate endings are added to a repeat that begins with an
  incomplete measure, it becomes necessary to set the
  Timing.measureLength context property manually, in the following
  specific places:

    – at the start of any incomplete measures in the \alternative block,
    which normally occur at the end of each alternative, except
    (in most cases) the last.
    – at the start of each alternative, except the first.

with a snippet example.

Cheers,
Xavier
