I'm not an expert in partcombine but I have read many conversations and
that could be "normal".  Partcombine assumes first combined voice should
be "voiceOne" and this non-combination when "first" is actually lower
than second is kind of a way of showing that "first" is actually playing
below "second" (as opposed to normally when they are combined second is
the lowest).

Anyway, you can change that by using  \partcombineChords .

\version "2.14.1"

VlnI = \relative c'' {
  \partcombineChords
 a4. g8 f[ g a f]
}

VlnII = \relative c' {
 f4. g8 a[ g f a]
}

\score {
 \new Staff <<
   \set Staff.printPartCombineTexts = ##f
   \partcombine
   \VlnI
   \VlnII
 >>

 \layout { }
}


Cheers,
Xavier
