Hey,
I've got a rather minimal patch (appended below) to add the support for
mounting and populating a minimal /dev working. (A few hours were wasted
due to my not knowing that upstart was going to issue mounted-dev even though
/dev was mounted before upstart started - and the mounted-dev hook deletes
and recreates all consoles. GAH)

Should be moot given my patch, which I intend to push this week, but why
couldn't a lxc.hook.mount do the whole thing, mount /dev and and populate
it? I wasn't thinking a lxc.hook.start, for the reasons you encountered,
but I assume you tried lxc.hook.mount and it failed?
Patch below:
