If it doesn't work then IMHO it's a bug.

I actually suggest you start a new thread, stating how you create your test
container from scratch in non-default rootfs location, and describe what
doesn't work.

If you can create it from scratch then you should be able to do whatever
modifications you need and have it picked up the next time the container is
stopped-started.
