qemu-user-static was installed on the system when I have been able to reproduce this error (installed on 2012-06-06 from apt log files)

I tried again this morning, and it works correctly. The main difference is that qemu-user-static has been upgraded from 1.0.50-2012.03-0ubuntu3 to 1.2.0-2012.09-0ubuntu1 on 2012-09-23 (~1 week after my last test) So probably *something* has been fixed in this new upstream version.

In any case, I tried without qemu-user-static installed and I get the error
    chroot: failed to run command `useradd': Exec format error
which is expected since the emulator is not installed.

I don't think it make sense to run lxc for an architecture without the right emulator installed but it is another bug than the one I initially reported and it can be closed as 'fix released'
