FTR, there is a similar bug 1611973 about postgresql not starting in a cloud instance, but this is specific to cloud-init, not to LXC. How sure are you that this is really due to the low FDs of pid 1, as opposed to that bug? Do you have some useful logs to look at, like a journal output from that container? (although generators don't log into journal, they run earlier than journald starts -- on a "real" system their error messages land in dmesg, not sure if containers are allowed to do that).
