Ah, so the question then becomes: will the example in the documentation
be changed?  As a lily neophyte I would have been happy to have
seen a working example for this particular problem.

The following worked for me (I blush to say I'm still using 1.6.12).
Please adjust with appropriate buckets of salt:

---cut here---
\version "1.6.12"

% start the last alternative on the first beat of a new bar.
% This won't be necessary for lilypond versions X.X.X and up
%
% (make-moment 4 4) is our current time-signature
%
startLastAlt = {
  \property Timing.measurePosition = #(make-moment 4 4)
}

\score {
  \context Staff \notes \relative c'' {
  \partial 4
  \repeat volta 4 { e | c2 d2 | e2 f2 | }
  \alternative { { g4 g g } { \startLastAlt a a a a | b2. } }
  }
}
---cut here---
