Because the music must be included in braces { }. With the \repeat
command the \time and the notes are a combined muscial expression. But
with the \time command before \repeat you have two muscial expressions
at toplevel in the score: \time and \repeat and LilyPond can not guess
how to put staves and voices around.

An extra pair of braces solves it:

\score {
  {
    \time 3/4
    \repeat volta 2 {
      <d'-0 a'-0>8. a'16 d'8 a' d'16 a'8.
    }
  }
}

(If my explanation is wrong, more experienced people can probably tell
you more.)
