If you are curious, you can run strace on it (i.e. change 'mesg y' to
'strace -f -o /tmp/mesg-y-strace-out mesg y') and see what files it
tries to open etc.
Still, to me it looks like distro-specific problem. What distribution
are you using?

This does not looks like something specific to OpenVZ. Still, let me guess.
"tty device" here is not /dev/tty, but either /dev/ttyp* and /dev/ptyp*, or
some entry under /dev/pts.
"mesg" is a program to enable/disable receiving messages from other users. It
is probably called from one of user's login scripts (/etc/bashrc, /etc/bash_login,
/etc/profile or something like that, or their ~/. analogs). This programs is _possibly_
SGID to group tty (run 'ls -l $(which mesg)' to check that), and tries to change the mode
of one or several above mentioned files. Since files doesn't belong to group tty, mesg
complains.
This problem is most probably the problem of a given distribution.
Regards,
Kir.
