I think the cleanest solution would be providing images for containers without this invalid fstab entry.
The second cleanest seems to be not starting systemd-remount-fs.service in containers, or at least not in lxc.

Bug description:
  The ubuntu:xenial image shows 'degraded' state in lxd on initial boot.

  $ lxc launch xenial x1
  $ sleep 10
  $ lxc file pull x1/etc/cloud/build.info -
  build_name: server
  serial: 20160420-145324

  $ lxc exec x1 systemctl is-system-running
  degraded

  $ lxc exec x1 -- systemctl --state=failed
    UNIT                          LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
  ● dev-hugepages.mount           loaded failed failed Huge Pages File System
  ● iscsid.service                loaded failed failed iSCSI initiator daemon (iscsid)
  ● open-iscsi.service            loaded failed failed Login to default iSCSI targets

  LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
  ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
  SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

  7 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
  To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
