This test unit works fine for me in lxd. Container created using "lxc
launch images:archlinux arch-test"

######
# cat /etc/systemd/system/test-asuser.service
[Unit]
Description=run as user test

[Service]
User=nobody
Group=nobody

Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'echo $(date) id is $(id) >> /tmp/test-asuser.log'
######

How did you create your container? If you use lxc (not lxd), try the
'download' template.
