Hi James,

The manual (in the section you mentioned) explicitly discourage to use
 \bar "|:"  commands for repeats.

  Although the bar line types signifying repeats may be inserted
  manually they do not in themselves cause LilyPond to recognize a
  repeated section. Such repeated sections are better entered using
  the various repeat commands (see Repeats), which automatically print
  the appropriate bar lines.

Maybe the warning is not highlighted enough but it is there.

Cheers,
Xavier
