I get:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  *** Assertion (_function_space) [at 
dolfin/function/Function.cpp:303 in init()]

You need to attach a FunctionSpace before you call vector() otherwise it 
cannot know how long the vector should be.

The first constructor is not called (for what reason I do not know) and wont 
trigger the assertion.
