This definitely looks like a bug. Please file an issue on GitLab at
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues.

As a workaround, override PercentRepeat.thickness:

\version "2.22.0"

{
   \magnifyStaff 0.5
   \override PercentRepeat.thickness = 0.25
   \override DoublePercentRepeat.thickness = 0.25
   \repeat percent 2 { c'1 }
}

I filed a bug report.

The workaround, however, is not really sufficient as it only thins the slash, but it needs to be reduced in height as well. It should only cover the two middle staff-spaces.
