I notice that lxcSetupInterfaces has a comment saying that it returns -1 on failure, but it actually just passes on what is returned by vethInterfaceUpOrDown.

Would you be willing to consider instead just changing vethInterfaceUpOrDown and moveInterfaceToNetNs to return -1 in all error cases (and checking the return for < 0), rather than grabbing the exit code of the exec'ed command? None of the callers do anything with that extra information anyway, and it would help to make the return values more consistent (which makes it easier to catch bugs like this, or eliminates them altogether ;-)

(I was recently bitten by a similar bug...)

lxcContainerRenameAndEnableInterfaces is expected to return a negative
value on a failure, so the patch changes the return value to -1
if vethInterfaceUpOrDown fails.

Note that this patch may be related to the bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=607496 .
It would not fix the bug, but would unveil what happens.
