yeah, i built in 'audit=0' on the command line so i didn't have to
figure out how to convince grub2 to add that each time (or do it
manually) ...

Interestingly, the bug you reference
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893751#c3 ) mentions
exactly the behavior I see, but I can see in the kernel boot log that I
have 'audit=0' ... if I pass
--capability=cap_audit_write,cap_audit_control to nspawn, it all
works ... 

The same behavior occurs with --releasever=rawhide when I use yum to
install the files for the container ... at least for me ...

I'm starting to think there is something different with my kernel build
or (perhaps unlikely) a 3.8-rc5 issue ...

I certainly seem to have audit=0, from the log:

Feb  5 12:18:06 chukar kernel: [    0.000000] Kernel command line:
audit=0 BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.8.0-rc5ay ...

and

Feb  5 12:18:06 chukar kernel: [    0.000000] audit: disabled (until
reboot)
