Well, it's an excellent illustration of the tradeoff between
general solutions and specialized support for common constructs.
If you had implemented support for voltas separated from the
repeat signs, this unusual example could be handled without
problems, on the other hand for the remaining 99% examples,
it would have meant more job for the user and less support
for MIDI generation et cetera.
I'm not saying, one solution is better than the other, just
noting the problem. We can never expect to support all
possible notation constructs, but still keep as general
as possible.
