I had loaded the new snapshot to see the new features, I had managed to grow an acacia tree with bonemeal, but when i tried growing the roofed oak sapling with bonemeal it didnt work. I had probably clicked it with bonemeal at least 100 times, then I thought it was in a bad area, So i moved it to a clear area and tried again, nothing happened. I then tried growing a regular oak sapling in the area and it worked fine.

Dark oak saplings won't grow into trees, hence no dark oak wood.

I had the same problem, but then I remembered that it was a 2x2 tree. I use 4 saplings, and it worked. Loving the new wood textures, by the way.
I think he means a just plain 1x1 sapling. I don't know if this is intended or not, but it really should work.
You cannot grow 2x2 trees at all places. Rules apply also for big jungle trees.
