This is expected. lxc-execute allows you to run commands without a
rootfs. Other isolation mechanisms are still available. Say, you have
sub{u,g}ids defined and you want to run a shell in a set of new
namespaces including user namespaces you can do:

sudo lxc-execute -n ns1 -l debug -o AAA -s "lxc.id_map = u 0 165536
65536" -s "lxc.id_map = g 0 165536 65536" -- bash

Which in the hosts process tree shows up as:

root     21209  0.0  0.0  56916  3840 pts/14   S+   12:22   0:00          \_ 
sudo lxc-execute -n ns1 -s lxc.id_map = u 0 165536 65536 -s lxc.id_map = g 0 
165536 65536 --
bash
root     21210  0.0  0.0  46264  4552 pts/14   S+   12:22   0:00              
\_ lxc-execute -n ns1 -s lxc.id_map = u 0 165536 65536 -s lxc.id_map = g 0 
165536 65536 -- bash
165536   21212  0.0  0.0  46140  4192 ?        Ss   12:22   0:00                
  \_ /usr/sbin/init.lxc --name ns1 --lxcpath /var/lib/lxc --logpriority ERROR 
-- bash
165536   21246  0.0  0.0  18348  3236 ?        S    12:22   0:00                
      \_ bash

And as you can see the {u,g}ids are mapped. And looking at the log I
appended you can see that other isolation mechanisms are still in place.
So not a bug.
