Nope. Both versions work for me every time both in 32-bit and 64-bit
Ubuntu 12.04 on an AMD CPU. The command and its output are:

$ lilypond test.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.14.2

...assuming I understand what you mean by commenting out one pair of
\repeats and uncommenting the other.

When you say "see the compiler fail", what do you mean exactly? Can
you copy-paste your console output, if you are running lilypond from
the console?
