Better than the solution I'm currently using.  I'm just polling the
running containers (~ every 5 minutes) and if there's only 1 task
running AND the {VM}/var/run/utmp file is there and contains a valid
runlevel that ends in 0 or 6 then I shut the container down with
lxc-stop and restart it with lxc-start in the case of a reboot (ends in
6).  Yeah, ugly hack.  It would be slightly less ugly if it could be
event driven and not polling.
