Hum. Just tried with a Debian Wheezy under LXC 1.1.2 (Ubuntu 15). Works like a charm.

lxc-attach -n pure-debian-7 tmux # insert bla bla here, detach tmux
lxc-attach -n pure-debian-7 tmux a # attach without --clear-env
lxc-attach -n pure-debian-7 --clear-env env TERM=xterm tmux a # attach with --clear-env, must set TERM variable.


Maybe related to your container's OS and/or LXC version? Give more informations.
