Not sure exactly what that tutorial is doing.  Didn't see anything
obviously wrong with it.  You might try verifying it by doing

  lxc-create -f /usr/share/doc/lxc/examples/lxc-macvlan.conf -t ubuntu -n u1
  lxc-start -n u1

and see if that is giving you a console.  If not, then perhaps something in
your VM isn't right, for instance no support for multiple devpts.  In fact,
what does

  sudo lxc-config

give you?
