I have also seen this problem from time to time in different boxes and different
versions of lxc. It's not easily reproducible and I can't remember if I reported
it (maybe not since I couldn't make a 100% reproducible test case).

I also use a non-standard directory, /srv/lxc in my case. Symlinking and -P made
no difference. 

When the bug manifests the only solution I found was a complete reboot of the
host.
