You're not mentioning what version of libvirt you're using. This was
added recently

commit 9a0ac6d9c21b914f887d2a1e0051b5beffa81bd7

    LXC: Create /dev/tty within a container
    
    Many applications use /dev/tty to read from stdin.
    e.g. zypper on openSUSE.
    
    Let's create this device node to unbreak those applications.
    As /dev/tty is a synonym for the current controlling terminal
    it cannot harm the host or any other containers.
