Hmmm...well, your code runs fine for me:
Ralphs-iMac:mpi rhc$ mpirun -n 2 ./thread_init
Calling MPI_Init_thread...
Calling MPI_Init_thread...
MPI_Init_thread returned, provided = 3
MPI_Init_thread returned, provided = 3
Ralphs-iMac:mpi rhc$
I think the key, however, is that you also have to configure with
--enable-opal-multi-thread.
