I'd like to eat some crow, as it seems I'm the lunatic in this
thread for which I must apologize.  :( I mis-characterized this
issue based on a mis-recollection of a past experience I had, 
resulting in a doubly-compounded mistake.  How embarrassing.

My sincere apologies.

My interest in this issue of implicit open-repeat bars could be
addressed with an override ability for repeats beginning at the
start of a piece or at a double bar.  Like Werner, I too was
unaware of the double-bar aspect of the rule for repeats.

\score {
  \new Staff 
    \relative f' {
      \repeat volta 2 { f1 f1 }
      f1 f1 \bar "||" \break

% something akin to this, perhaps:
  \once \override Staff.RepeatBarExplicit = ##t

      \repeat volta 2 { f1 f1 }
      f1 f1 \bar "|."
    }
}

Perhaps this could be overridden only when needed, or set
globally for a given context where it is wanted.

I'll go back under my rock now.
