Yeah hard to describe. Assume that both the A and B part have a
quarter note pickup measure. These pickups bars differ from each
other. The first alternative in the A section will end with the notes
from the A anacrusis. The second alternative in the A section will
end with the notes from the B anacrusis. So the A alternatives
differ.

Why not just put the repeat between the proper A and B parts, and keep the pickups inside? See <URL: http://music.maden.org/index.php?title=The_Glass_of_Beer > for an example.

In cases where the entrance to the A and B parts differs depending on where you’re coming from, alternative endings makes sense; see <URL: http://music.maden.org/index.php?title=The_Star_of_Munster >.

[Both wiki pages contain links to LilyPond files and rendered PDF and MIDI. Both were done with 2.16 originally, so no use of 2.19 features required.]

I’m not really sure what the confusion or difficulty is.
