Hm, I just did this on natty
  (natty host, natty kvm VM, with a natty container inside that)

and could actually not reproduce your problem.  Just a normal bridge on
the kvm VM:

root at lxc-natty-amd64:~# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
br0             8000.001636dd34bc       no              eth0

And the lxc container was created with a minimal normal config:

lxc.network.type=veth
lxc.network.link=br0
lxc.network.flags=up

So I guess I may have to try to reproduce on debian.
