Yep, the consoles you get available inside a container are not
real Linux virtual consoles, so X is not going to be happy with
them.
Instead of using a <console> element, you'll need to pass through
the real console device using:
<hostdev mode='capabilities' type='misc'>
<source>
<char>/dev/tty1</char>
</source>
</hostdev>
NB, this requires libvirt >= 1.0.1 to work
