This may have been my fault. I was using the -o option to lxc-start
(output logfile) and failed to specify the -c (console output redirect)
option. It seems to fire up nicely (albeit with other problems) with
that additional option. Continuing my research.

Apparently, in recent kernels, we can. Unfortunately, I'm still finding
that I can not restart a container I have previously halted. I have no
problem with sysvinit and upstart systems on this host, so it is a
container problem peculiar to systemd containers. Continuing to
research that problem.
