When using media containers, you need closed objects. Your object is 
open at both ends, meaning that the media is not constrained by that object.

Change your lathe as follow :
lathe {
     linear_spline
     4, // instead of 2
     <0, -100>, // added bottom end cap
     <1,-100>, <1,100>,
     <0, 100> // added top end cap

     hollow //on Default to on when hollow is present
     pigment {rgbf 1}
     interior { media { emission <1,1,1> } }
}

In your original lathe, make sure that the first and last points have a 
zero U coordinate. If not, increase the point count and add the missing 
point.
