In my understanding the docstring for Repeat_acknowledge_engraver means:
If a repeat is entered via \repeat volta this engraver fills
repeatCommands with settings for 'start-repeat, 'end-repeat and
'volta.

Nowadays, it seems 'volta is not filled anymore,afaict.

Thus I think a change is needed:
Either we change the docstring for Repeat_acknowledge_engraver not
setting 'volta in repeatCommands for automatic repeats or change the
engraver itself to fill 'volta again.
