i also use arch on all my systems, and although i have not used lxc in awhile, i ran into this issue when i did; this may not be your problem, but it might be useful to others. when using the 'newinstance' mount opt to devpts, you have to ensure that /dev/ptmx is a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx. this is even more critical if your host is also using 'newinstance' (as mine was), since the legacy, kernel bound/single-instance ptmx will not exist and all pty allocations will fail. at one point, one of the init scripts (the startup one IIRC) was overwriting my /dev/ptmx symlink with an actual ptmx node, which subsequently was causing the same error you are receiving. my problem was persistent however; once /dev/ptmx was changed, all allocations would fail until i repaired the symlink.
