It seems like something goes wrong in Function::gather. Can you verify
that you end up in the else clause of that function?

This happens when

  _function_space->has_element(element, dolfin_cell)

returns false. It should return true in all cases except when you want
to restric a Function to a different basis or to a different mesh,
which I guess is not the case in your example.
