It´s indeed the second option: in those cases the lyrics were all

While your solution presented below works fine, still, isn´t it a bit 
odd that Lilypond creates two opening repeat bars in such cases?
I can´t think of a use case where that would be desirable.

Which means leaving out the \repeat command from the lyrics, of course 
leaving out the \alternative too.
This works fine here, thanks a lot.
