Oh interesting I had not realized libvirt-lxc had grown an unprivileged
mode using user namespaces.

This does appear to be a classic remount bug, where you are not
preserving the permissions.  It appears the fact that the code
failed to enforce locked permissions on the fresh mount of proc
was hiding this bug until now.

I expect what you actually want is the code below:

diff --git a/src/lxc/lxc_container.c b/src/lxc/lxc_container.c
index 9a9ae5c2aaf0..f008a7484bfe 100644

+++ b/src/lxc/lxc_container.c

 static const virLXCBasicMountInfo lxcBasicMounts[] = {
     { "proc", "/proc", "proc", MS_NOSUID|MS_NOEXEC|MS_NODEV, false, false, false },

     { "sysfs", "/sys", "sysfs", MS_NOSUID|MS_NOEXEC|MS_NODEV|MS_RDONLY, false, false, false },

Or possibly just:

diff --git a/src/lxc/lxc_container.c b/src/lxc/lxc_container.c

As the there is little point in making /proc/sys read-only in a
user-namespace, as the permission checks are uid based and no-one should
have the global uid 0 in your container.  Making mounting /proc/sys
read-only rather pointless.
