Well, I was happy too early.

Killing lxc-start make the container disappear only from lxc-ls's output.
In the tasks file I saw three processes: udevd, init and one more, which 
I don't remember. I killed them all, but the cgroup still exists.

I don't know, what do you mean on stopped. Is there any available?

Well, next time.

Nope.

Now, I could stop it. I could remove the containers directory, then copy 
there a new install tarball. After that, lxc-destroy, than start, then 
stop and finally I'm happy again.

But I'm afraid this won't help you to debug it:(

Thanks,
