I'm using the method of attractor and threshold to refine my mesh locally (like in t10.geo). I can have a successful refinement on any 3 boundaries only. The moment I include the 4th edge in the edge list, I get an almost uniform mesh.

You should set

Mesh.CharacteristicLengthExtendFromBoundary = 0;
