This is expected. lxc-execute allows you to run commands without a
rootfs. Other isolation mechanisms are still available. Say, you have
sub{u,g}ids defined and you want to run a shell in a set of new
namespaces including user namespaces you can do:
sudo lxc-execute -n ns1 -l debug -o AAA -s "lxc.id_map = u 0 165536
65536" -s "lxc.id_map = g 0 165536 65536" -- bash
Which in the hosts process tree shows up as:
root 21209 0.0 0.0 56916 3840 pts/14 S+ 12:22 0:00 \_
sudo lxc-execute -n ns1 -s lxc.id_map = u 0 165536 65536 -s lxc.id_map = g 0
165536 65536 --
bash
root 21210 0.0 0.0 46264 4552 pts/14 S+ 12:22 0:00
\_ lxc-execute -n ns1 -s lxc.id_map = u 0 165536 65536 -s lxc.id_map = g 0
165536 65536 -- bash
165536 21212 0.0 0.0 46140 4192 ? Ss 12:22 0:00
\_ /usr/sbin/init.lxc --name ns1 --lxcpath /var/lib/lxc --logpriority ERROR
-- bash
165536 21246 0.0 0.0 18348 3236 ? S 12:22 0:00
\_ bash
And as you can see the {u,g}ids are mapped. And looking at the log I
appended you can see that other isolation mechanisms are still in place.
So not a bug.

Title:
lxc-execute can run commands in current namespace
Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
If lxc-execute is passed a non-existent container name, then the
command given is run in the current namespace.
I believe it should failed with a "container not found" error, as
otherwise it can lead to unexpected consequences in the host
environment.
example:
# lxc-ls
files foreman ns01 proxy
## Example typo on the -n option
# lxc-execute -n ns1 -- touch /tmp/ns01
# ls -l /tmp/ns01
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 6 16:07 /tmp/ns01
## Command ran outside of container!
# cat /etc/lsb-release
