As far as I know, this is only supported for the density/potential. The density is stored in real space and can be Fourier transformed to your finer k-grid (Fourier interpolation, more or less). The wave functions, on the other hand, are stored in k-space so there is no straightforward way to change their k-grid.
Starting your finer grid calculation from the coarse grid density is usually better than starting from scratch, although if your original k-grid was very coarse, the Fourier interpolation to the finer grid will be poor, so your mileage may vary. As an aside, I believe VASP does support this using a rudimentary implementation (it just uses the wave functions at the last k-point in the coarser grid for all the extra k-points in the finer grid, which doesn't make much sense to me, especially for incommensurate grids).
