Thanks, Daniel. You're right! This is fixed in git, by the patch 'lxc:
controller: Improve container error reporting' (which does much more
than it says :). The following patch is how I had just fixed 0.9.2 this
morning. It'll be nicer if I can get the git commit cherrypicked. I
can't wait till I can upgrade!
thanks,

Description: Make lxc driver hold sem until controller is far enough
The lxc driver currently does not wait until the container has set
up its cgroups before dropping the driver mutex.
First, move the controller's accept of the monitor socket wait
until it has set up the cgroups.
Second, because a connect does not actually wait for an accept to
happen, force the driver to wait with a silly two-way read/write
handshake. Since the monitor socket is also used elsewhere, make
this handshake happen everywhere.
