Ah, sorry I misunderstood your problem.

All I can say is that it works for me on my simple test. I have ulogd2
on both host and guest, and if you look at my iptables command on the
host and guest, they are almost identical (including nflog group)
except for chain names (forward/input/output). The logged packets are
from the correct one (the one inside the container has in/out=eth0,
while the one on the host has in/out=br0).

That was on Ubuntu 14.10 (kernel 3.16) with lxc-1.1 from daily ppa, so
you might want to try that before filing a bug report to ubuntu.
