NB in containers we have two PTYs involved. The libvirt_lxc process opens one pty in the host context and that is used to communicate between virsh console & libvirt_lxc. The libvirt_lxc process opens one pty in the guest context and that is used to commnuicate between libvirt_lxc and the container master console. Libvirt_lxc forwards data between the two PTYs. So, yes, it is normal for libvirt_lxc to access /dev/ptmx to create a new master PTY and to read/write to /dev/pts/NN associated with the file descriptor retrieved from /dev/ptmx.
