Please include your LilyPond version and operating system when you're
asking about a problem.
I would certainly try using separate voices again. Also, in your first
paragraph, "the second uses d4 (
a8) a4 d4 e8 e" is one eighth note too long.
Is this what you're looking for? It should work in 2.18, as well.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.80"
melody = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key d \major
\time 2/2
\repeat volta 2 {
d2 d4( d) |
<<
{ d4 r r e8 e }
\\
{ d4( a8) a d4 e8 e }
>>
}
\bar "|."
}
\score {
\melody
}
