xlyz, I don't think this is actually a bug. These containers are meant to be extremely lightweight. The system functions fine without a default locale. If you want to build a more complete system, you can login or even just chroot in and generate the desired locale.

Changed in lxc (Ubuntu):
importance: Undecided → Low
