I have debian squeeze with a self compiled LXC 0.7.5 and lxc-console works 
just fine.

   # uname -r
   3.1.4
   # lxc-version
   lxc version: 0.7.5
   # lxc-console -n hydra

   Type <Ctrl+a q> to exit the console

   Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 hydra tty1

   hydra login:

   # lxc-console -n magpie

   Type <Ctrl+a q> to exit the console

   Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 magpie tty1

   magpie login:

and so on.

My compiled version of LXC (./configure ; make) is looking for the 
(copied) config files in /usr/local/var/lib/lxc/

   # ls /usr/local/var/lib/lxc/magpie/
   config  on_boot

When moving to 0.7.5, I did a lxc-stop/-destroy/-create on all the 
containers.
