What I've thought a player should do if any phrase after the first is
missing  its  initial repeat is to split into a "polyphonic" mode and
start playing simultaneously from the beginning and  just  after  the
last  end-repeat.  This would be an accurate rendition of how a group
of musicians would be expected to read such notation.
