I don't know what you think doesn't look like a volta bracket
(no example included) but I think you should set the volta bracket so
that it makes your intentions as clear as possible, seeing as this
construction is atypical.

The following example piles on the idiosyncracies as it involves the
repeat starting at the half-bar, which the OP (last year) and possibly
you require. But it shows that you can set the boundaries wherever you
like. I set each bracket so that it indicates the barline within it
belongs solely to that repeat.
