This is not a reasonable test. Why would you be inconsistent in multi-voice music like this ? My recollection is that the guessing is turned off for very complicated cases on the grounds that if the user is capable of using these advanced features, they can get the repeats right and automagic correction is more likely to be a nuisance than a help. If you try a single voice with an end-repeat, you will find that the start-repeat is inserted by abc2midi.
