I'm utterly surprised by all these reactions... Mostly because noone
seems to agree with me that, in the case of

  ... \bar "||" \break \repeat ...

not having a "||" at the end of the line and a "|:" at the start of the
repeat is just an ordinary bug.

Consider:

  ... \break \repeat ...

produces: 

  ... |
  |: ... :|

Also,

  ... \bar "|" \break \repeat ...

produces: 

  ... |
  |: ... :|

But

  ... \bar "||" \break \repeat ...

produces: 

  ... ||
  ... :|

According to the common interpretation of the :| symbol, repetition is
to start at a |: and if there's none, the music must be repeated from the
beginning -- clearly not what is intended.
