Ok, I just realize I forget to commit the patch to output the console to 
a file :)
I did the change right now and will release a 0.7.4-rc1 version in a moment.

Please can you check that works for you ?

   lxc-start -n <name> -o lxc.log -l DEBUG -c console.log

or

  lxc-start -n <name> -o lxc.log -l DEBUG -c /dev/null

or

  lxc-start -n <name> -o logs -l DEBUG -c logs

Thanks for reporting the problem
