Thanks for filing this bug.

I believe the grub part of this bug is covered in bug 1060404 (which is
not fixed in Precise).

I don't believe the first part should be deemed a bug.  lxc is not
actually involved, and even without containers there is absolutely no
guarantee that any results in 'mount' will be paths which are currently
accessible to you.  Moreover, note that if mount were returning a valid
path (and grub succeeded in installing itself there) you would be
destroying the grub install for the host :)

Therefore grub-install simply needs to not run in the container.

   update-grub runs and fails in containers
