When did you pull that git?  I had that problem a week or so ago and
reported it on lxc-devel.  Just yesterday, they checked in some stuff
that should fix it but I haven't had a chance to retest.  Do a "git
pull" to update and check to see if the latest patches fix that.

Just for something really REALLY off the wall, try unmounting /dev/shm
and then retry the start.  If it starts, that's exactly my problem that
I have not been able to reproduce.  I'm hoping the developers are now on
this list as well.

Regards,
Mike
