It is very easy to add a member function which returns the ufc.Cell of a mesh. 
I can add that.

Title:
  Taking the gradient of an expression with a Constant crashes

Status in DOLFIN:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Since a Constant does not have any way to provide a cell, PyDOLFIN
  forces me to use python floats instead as coefficients in some forms,
  thereby significantly increasing the amount of recompilation I have to
  do. PyDOLFIN therefore does not support the full range of expressions
  possible to express in UFL. This can be remedied by adding an optional
  cell or mesh argument to Constant.__init__ in PyDOLFIN. Mesh is
  probably more convenient/consistent in a PyDOLFIN setting.

  # This currently crashes:
      from dolfin import Constant, grad
      grad(Constant(1e-1))

  # This syntax would make it possible to express fully ufl compliant constant coefficients in PyDOLFIN
      from dolfin import Constant, grad, UnitSquare
      mesh = UnitSquare(3,3)
      grad(Constant(1e-1, mesh))
