Well, I just applied a patch from Neilen. The code is all greek for me

I guess your meshfunction is stored in Output_material.xml and that it is a 
function of uints. You can just look att the second line (or something) of the 
file and you get the type. Then you should be able to do:

  mesh = Mesh('Output.xml')
  mf = MeshFunction('uint', mesh, 'Output_material.xml')

That is because, apperently, meshconverter store the constructed meshfunction 
in a separate file instead of in the mesh as data.
