The trick is to define a missing barline definition.
What is not obvious is that each barline definition has a few cases.
These correspond to how it is treated before a line break, in the middle of
a line, and after a line break.

So, you'll want to define a repeat barline that prints as a double bar line
at the end of the preceding line.
Then you need to use that barline explicitly for your volta.
Here is the one I use, which does the same thing except it also uses the
bigger flags "[|:".
You can probably fiddle with that part of it to get what you want, if you
want no flags on the repeat.

\version "2.18.0"
% The missing definition.
\defineBarLine "||.[|:" #'("||" "[|:" "")
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff { \clef treble \key c\major \time 4/4
% No need to add the barline at the end here, since it is being
covered by the new repeat.
<g c' e'> <a c' f'> <g c' e'> <a c' f'>
%\bar "||" |
\break
% Use your barline here
\bar "||.[|:"
\repeat volta 2 {
<g c' e'> <a c' f'> <g c' e'> <a c' f'> |
}
% If you like the big flags, use the corresponding end repeat here.
\bar ":|]"
}
\new Staff { \clef bass \key c\major \time 4/4
<c, c>4 <d, d> <c, c>4 <d, d> |
<c, c>4 <d, d> <c, c>4 <d, d> |
}

You are certainly not doing anything wrong.
I would argue that behavior should be the default.
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the default barlines used for
voltas?
