\repeat unfold is not evaluated at all.  It stays a repeat expression
until it gets interpreted.  One reason it is implemented that way is in
order to keep the repeats in

\relative c' { \repeat unfold 4 { c e g } }

in the same octave rather than get

\relative c' { c e g c e g c e g c e g }

which crosses four octaves.
