Reading lxc 0.9.0's sources explains why.
It tries to chmod before chown. :-\
lxc_spawn() does:
handler->pid = lxc_clone(do_start, handler, handler->clone_flags);
...
if (lxc_map_ids(&handler->conf->id_map, handler->pid)) {
...
if (uid_shift_ttys(handler->pid, handler->conf))
Sadly, do_start() calls lxc_setup() which calls setup_console() which calls
later chmod().
So, the logic is complete garbage.
lxc has to map and shif the uid much earlier.
