I'm a little bit confused. This functionality was committed in March, so 
  it should be included in Dolfin 0.9.2 which was released in April.

Wait .... I've just realize the problem. You are using refine() which 
calls UniformRefinement, which is simplified version.
You should to call :
void refine (MeshFunction< bool > &cell_markers)

For uniform refinement it should be similar to:
MeshFunction<bool> markers(mesh,3);
markers = true;
mesh.refine(markers);

cheers,
BArtek
