Sorry I haven't made much progress on this myself; I just don't install lxc on the system where I use libvirt. It's not a pleasing solution but it's mostly worked.
I think part of the problem is that what I want is .. not what DNS software authors are expecting. I want a local DNS service that knows to query multiple authoritative servers and recursive resolvers simultaneously and somehow determine which of the responses should be given back to clients. It's not a usual problem to have. (Someone else may run mixed lxc and libvirt and expect all guests to be able to resolve all other guests, but they might just run their own dns infrastructure and eschew the built-in offerings, to avoid this specific issue.) I suspect what I want does not exist and would likely take significant engineering resources to make it work.
