Does not seem like something libvirt_lxc should be doing. Robin, can you provide more info about what you were doing when this issue popped up? /usr/libexec/pt_chown comes from glibc-common FYI, so probably a side effect of some stdlib call? libvirt_lxc MUST create ptys in the LXC that are owned by the new namespace. However, we recently modified the container pty creation to bypass glibc (glibc's pt implementation is not namespace aware):

lxc: use hand-rolled code in place of unlockpt and grantpt
The glibc ones (intentionally) cannot handle ptys opened in a
devpts not mounted at /dev/pts.
Drop the (un-exported, unused) virFileOpenTtyAt.

I think F17 is immune as a result. For now, I'm marking this POST, in case backporting just this one patch is easy for F16, but if it turns out to be difficult, we may just mark it as WONTFIX for F16 (after all, we have a number of other LXC usability issues in F16 that we won't be fixing, but recommend F17 instead).
