I think you're misunderstanding the point of t:container?
1) T5 templates have to be well-formed xml.
2) Well-formed xml documents have to have a single root node
3) Tapestry basically renders all of the markup in your template.
Suppose you have a component that should insert some content.
Something like:
MyComponent.tml:
<p>Here is some content to insert</p>
<p>Here is some more content to insert</p>
That won't fly for T5, because it isn't well-formed xml.
So you have to wrap it in a root node... you pick div:
<div>
<p>Here is some content to insert</p>
<p>Here is some more content to insert</p>
</div>
Problem is, now when you use your component, you get that extra
(potentially undesirable) div:
SomePage.tml:
<div id="somemeaningfulid">
<MyComponent/>
</div>
The rendered output is going to be:
<div id="somemeaningfulid">
<div>
<p>Here is some content to insert</p>
<p>Here is some more content to insert</p>
</div>
</div>
(sans the whitespace. ;)
Enter t:container. It's purpose to provide the root node for a
template which /won't/ be rendered.
We rewrite MyComponent.tml as:
<t:container>
<p>Here is some content to insert</p>
<p>Here is some more content to insert</p>
</t:container>
And now our output becomes:
<div id="somemeaningfulid">
<p>Here is some content to insert</p>
<p>Here is some more content to insert</p>
</div>
t:container is not, to my understanding, a replacement for T3 and T4's
$content$.
Cheers,
Robert

I tried your code verbatim and I here's what I get rendered:

This is with both 5.0.10 and 5.0.11-SNAPSHOT, so now I'm a little
flummoxed.
That's really weird!?
Can anybody else try this example? Has anybody else had the same
issue with
t:container?
