The attached patch implements this fix, it works for my simple test
case and a more involved one I have...

It could be made a bit faster by adding an FEInterface::map() function
in the same vein as FEInterface::inverse_map() which forwards to
FE<Dim,T>::map().  This seems like it would also be a useful feature
in general...

An even better optimization would be to add geometric-only
specializations of Elem::contains_point(), at least for the linear
element types.
