Unrelate imho. In this case you're trying to create a network, which 
implies routing commands under the hood, so than I find it logical that 
dev can't be used as name.

Yes, but as stated above...you're creating a network device, which needs 
routing applied.
So I can imagine (but for details the developers might be better to 
explain), that lxc (a front-end) will use the ip route command under the 
hood to apply the IP address/routing like : ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 
dev lxdbr1. Just take a look at the output of "ip route list"
