I'll tell you what I've found by looking through the list archives and 
this time I won't include my signature ;)

The mtab of the container had the root filesystem from the host in. This 
appeared to be causing at least 1 issue in that files would have 
incorrect ownership (perhaps because looking at hosts /etc/passwd rather 
than containers?). Maybe this is the cause of the problems?
