We have discussed this extensively in:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/dolfin/+bug/681415

but we did never conclude... 

A hack that might work for you can be:

  spaces = [V1, V2]
  W = MixedFunctionSpace(spaces)
  W.spaces = spaces

...

  u0 = Function(W.spaces[0])

This will only work in the Python interface.
