A workaround: because your shape is of MultiPoint2D you can convert it
as Point2D using the "Separate multipart features" geoprocess in the
Geoprocessing Toolbox. More redundant, but it works now. So the issue
consists in the fact that the "Add measure" tools don't support
multipart layers. This sounds as an useful feature request! ;-)

ciao
Antonio
