That's perfectly normal, if a bit confusing.
lxc-tests only exists in precise-backports while liblxc1 exists in both
the release pocket and the backports pocket.
Apt policy is to never automatically pull from backports unless the
package only exists there.
As a result, apt will pull lxc-tests from backports if you request it be
installed but will then fail as it won't be able to automatically pull the
liblxc1 dependency that it then needs.
If you do want to install the package, you'll need to use:
apt-get install -t precise-backports lxc-tests
Which will then allow apt to pull everything that's needed from
backports.
