There's three ways to solve this:
1) Make the filesystem upgrade nicely in a container, or
2) Have the container runtime/user namespace system/... support the
type of change that upgrading the filesystem package makes, or
3) Just respin the container image quickly whenever this happens; this
hides the problem from users without solving the problem.
1 isn't happening because the maintainer isn't involved.
2 isn't happening because the container runtime maintainers punted on it.
3 is the easiest left to accomplish.
If I had a choice, I'd be really happy with 3. I don't know what
all is involved to respin container images with a new package. I'm
sure it takes time, but I'd imagine it'd be mostly automated. The
problem gets fixed eventually anyways.

(Arguably there is 4, quit rebuilding the filesystem package needlessly,
but we seem to like mass-rebuilds of all packages, and it might set a
weird precedence if we special case things).
