you have two possibilities:

first:
you have a partial upbeat, so you also have a partial first repeat bar. use
the \set Timing.measurePosition in the first alternative like this:

<<<
\relative c'' {
  \time 3/4
  \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -5/16)
  \repeat volta 2 {
  e16 e8. e16 | e4 e e }
  \alternative {
    {
      \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -7/16)
      e4 r8.
    }
    {
      e4 r8
      \key ees \minor
      bes8 [ ges ees ] |
    }
  }
   d4 d d |
}
>>>

however, you then have a key change in the middle of the second
alternative. this is ugly. a more "correct" way of notating your example,
avoiding partial bars after the first bar:

<<<
\relative c'' {
  \time 3/4
  \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -5/16)
  e16 e8. e16 |
  \repeat volta 2 {
    e4 e e
  }
  \alternative {
    { e4 r8. e16 e8. e16 | }
    { e4 r8 }
  }
  bes8 [ ges ees ] |
  \key ees \minor
  d4 d d |
}
>>>

sb
