I assume you did '--path=/home/chm/lxc/myfirstcontainer/', not
'- path=/home/chm/lxc/myfirstcontainer/'?

This is unrelated to the more important issue:

Yikes, trivially reproduced.
Now, first, since you specified path=/home/chm/lxc/myfirstcontainer/
to lxc-create, you need to do
lxc-start -n myfirstcontainer -c /home/chm/lxc/myfirstcontainer/
So the first bug is that /var/lib/lxc/myfirstcontainer/ gets created,
with a bad config, allowing 'lxc-start -n myfirstcontainer' to try
and work.
However,
lxc-start -n myfirstcontainer -c /home/chm/lxc/myfirstcontainer/
still doesn't work for me.
Would you mind opening a bug on launchpad? Otherwise I'll do it.

Can I ask why you specified '--path'? I'm tempted to remove that option
from the template, in favor of a '-B dir --dir=/home/chm/lxc/myfirstcontainer'
option to lxc-create itself for specifying where only the rootfs will go.
(This would fit in with the '-B lvm' which is added to lxc-create in
git://github.com/hallyn/lxc.git)
