Public bug reported:
If I run lxc-start with umask 007 (or any other value that masks the
world-execute bit), my host system enters a state with the following
problems:
* lxc-stop hangs forever instead of stopping any container, even one that
wasn't started with umask 007.
* lxc-stop --kill --nolock hangs in the same way.
* Attempts to reboot or shut down my host system fail, requiring a hard reset
to recover.
When lxc-stop hangs, messages like these appear in syslog every couple
of minutes:

When system shutdown hangs, similar messages appear on the console every
couple of minutes.
I'm running lxc 2.0.5-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04.2 on xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
amd64.
My containers are all unprivileged.
I can reproduce this at will with either an old-ish container or a fresh
new one.
My umask at container creation time does not seem to matter. As far as
I have seen, my umask only matters the first time I start a container in
my login session.
I can work around the bug by manually setting my umask to something more
permissive before I start my first container of the day, and then
setting it back again, but that's rather a hassle. (Even worse, it's
very easy to forget this workaround and be left with containers that
can't be stopped and a host system that won't shut down cleanly.)
