Hi Mats,

Even when there isn’t a break in the first alternative, the volta bracket
overlaps the second pass text (at least when I compile it here).
Below, I’ve included your snippet (using \repeat unfold constructs to compress
the notes and lyrics for better MWE readability!), as well as another option
that doesn’t cause collisions/overlaps with the volta brackets. (Note: I used
\omit LyricText instead of skips, because I find it more intuitive to read.)
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
