FWIW, works fine on clean Ubuntu 13.10 installation via apt-get install lxc.

Well, that's annoying. The issue is that we want to have our own configuration file used over what is shipped in the package. It's to allow configuring the lxc-net when the default network values will cause a conflict. I'll spin things up on 13.10 and see what can be done to get things happy with apt.
