You should be doing correct.

I found a bug in lxc_driver.c. Could you try the following patch?

diff --git a/src/lxc/lxc_driver.c b/src/lxc/lxc_driver.c
index 2851a2a..018e9f8 100644
--- a/src/lxc/lxc_driver.c
+++ b/src/lxc/lxc_driver.c
@@ -883,6 +883,9 @@ static int lxcSetupInterfaces(virConnectPtr conn,
             goto error_exit;
         }

+        /* Prevent auto-assigned names re-used */
+        parentVeth[0] = '\0';
+        containerVeth[0] = '\0';
     }

     rc = 0;
