I've attached a simple script that solves a problem, and refines the
mesh every few steps. The RHS uses data from the previous step. The
extract

for t in xrange(3):
    for level in xrange(2):
        mesh = mesh_new
        V  = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)
        v  = TestFunction(V)
        dU = TrialFunction(V)
        U  = Function(V)

        L = v*(U-U0)*dx
        a = v*dU*dx
        pde = VariationalProblem(a, L)
        U = pde.solve()

        # Refine mesh
        mesh_new = Mesh(mesh)
        mesh_new.refine()

    # Update U0
    U0 = U

works fine. For a mixed element, the code extract

for t in xrange(3):
    for level in xrange(2):
        mesh = mesh_new
        V  = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)
        ME = MixedFunctionSpace([V, V])
        (v, q) = TestFunctions(ME)
        dU     = TrialFunction(ME)
        U      = Function(ME)
        u0,  p0 = split(U0)
        u,   p  = split(U)
        du, dp  = split(dU)

        L = dot(v, u-u0)*dx + q*(p-p0)*dx
        a = v*du*dx + q*dp*dx
        pde = VariationalProblem(a, L)
        U = pde.solve()

        # Refine mesh
        mesh_new = Mesh(mesh)
        mesh_new.refine()

    # This breaks for mixed element
    #U0 = U

    # This works for mixed element
    V1 = FunctionSpace(mesh_new, "CG", 1)
    ME1 = V1 + V1
    U0 = Function(ME1)
    U0.interpolate(U)

works, but I have to use the assignment differently. Any ideas? Is it
related to the lifetime of the mixed space ME?

Full script attached.
