Hello.  There's a little error in domain1.geo that makes the mesh produced with

$ gmsh -2 -format mesh -string 'Mesh.SaveElementTagType=2;' -o
domain1.3.mesh domain1.geo
$ gawk -f 3to2.awk domain1.3.mesh > domain1.mesh

wrong: the top-right subdomain has the wrong orientation, clockwise
rather than anticlockwise.  Change the line in domain1.geo defining
its boundary as follows:

$ diff domain1{,a}.geo
52c52
< Line Loop(21) = {18,19,20,10,14};
---
> Line Loop(21) = {-18,-19,-20,-10,-14};

Then it works fine; e.g. the FreeFem++ file

mesh Th = readmesh ("domain1a.mesh");
cout << "area: " << int2d (Th) (1.0) << "." << endl;

happily and correctly computes the area as 100.

I didn't look at the other two meshes.
