It ´s indeed the second option: in those cases the lyrics were all

While your solution presented below works fine, still, isn ´t it a bit 
odd that Lilypond creates two opening repeat bars in such cases?
I can ´t think of a use case where that would be desirable.

Which means leaving out the \repeat command from the lyrics, of course 
leaving out the \alternative too.
This works fine here, thanks a lot.

I admit that I often find it difficult to find my way in the Lilypond
