In what way? In the OP it said that the music was "repeated in full".
Indeed, in the example, the same notes are present in 2 and 4, just
as the OP promised.

Eh? Are you telling me that I can't write the first rendition
any more because, in the second, only 1 needs a repeat barline
at the end of the measure, and 2 *mustn't* have one?

IOW what you seem to be saying is that writing ":|." at the
end of a measure means that under no circumstances should you
continue past that barline to the next measure—so my first
rendition generates an infinite loop.
