LXC instance fails to start

When trying to run an LXC instance, after working around bug 812548, I get the following trace:

The fix for bug 805083 is what caused this bug. See the last comment in bug 805083.

This is fix-released in last beta

Sorry for spam. I guess openstack doesn't go to fix-released until full release, not beta. switching back to fix-commited.
