Why not just put the repeat between the proper A and B parts, and keep 
the pickups inside?  See <URL:

In cases where the entrance to the A and B parts differs depending on 
where you’re coming from, alternative endings makes sense; see <URL:

[Both wiki pages contain links to LilyPond files and rendered PDF and 
MIDI.  Both were done with 2.16 originally, so no use of 2.19 features 
required.]

I’m not really sure what the confusion or difficulty is.
