Normally Ubuntu uses the devpts filesystem. The ultimate solution is for this to be container-ized as discussed recently on LKML. (IIRC the result was to avoid container-specific magic and just allow multiple independent mounts of devpts). So I think this is an OpenVZ issue and you need to find out how OpenVZ is supposed to work here. My guess is your "hack" is actually the correct solution for the time being. You just need to add the commands to an init script somewhere.
