No my arch is amd64, that's why I specified "-a armhf". 
I know about qemu (I wasn't sure whether to use static or binfmt), but errors should be meaningful, instead it seems as if lxc is working fine, but in fact it's not. Obviously it's not a matter of permissions, so the error is wrong.

The image I used is downloaded from debian.org, so I didn't prepare it myself.  
Either non-armhf hosts shouldn't list armhf images or should warn (maybe in documentation, if not in code) that those aren't usable without additional packages.
