See this thread: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2024-10/msg00077.html Simply adding an empty musical construct (like {} or <>) after the inner repeat block will fix it. I wish Lilypond would commit to the new syntax going forward and issue a warning or something (though obviously still support it for backwards compatibility on scores that have an older version declaration).
