Serge just pointed out to me (on IRC) that you seem to be using upstart
on Ubuntu 15.04 which is not the default setup. Things should still work
though as I use LXD on Ubuntu 14.04 with upstart without any problem.
It does change my instructions slightly though:

To try and debug this further, can you attach:
 - Output of: dmesg
 - Output of: cat /proc/self/mountinfo
 - Do:
    - sudo stop lxd
    - lxd --debug --group lxd
   In a separate shell:
    - lxc list --debug
   Then give me the output of both lxd and lxc separately please.
