I had a look at the files you uploaded. Here's a PTO that has them all 
aligned.

I added the images into a fresh Hugin project. Did not assign stacks. I ran 
Hugin's CPFind on each exposure set (same position, different exposures). I 
then ran CPFind on the middle exposures. Optimized position, got rid of 
outliers, optimized again. You can now export each exposure plane (same 
exposures, different positions) separately and enfuse.

I had the same trouble with align_image_stack with DSC_8625.tif. I thought 
it was because the images aren't very sharp but even with downsized images 
align_image_stack was failing to find suitable control points. It may be as 
you suspect, it's too translated with respect to the other two images.

PS You may want to capture a greater range of exposures, not just +/-1EV.
