The intention of the above commit was to list also the container which 
were created on-the-fly and hence not present in the /var/lib/lxc. For 
example, lxc-execute -n foo sleep 10, does not exists in /var/lib/lxc.

I think the correct fix is to remove the duplicate container names.
Or just show two list, the running ones and the stopped ones.
