usually those lines are generated by pts/ptys which
were 'brought' into a context via 'enter' or 'exec'
if you get those messages without entering a guest,
I'm quite interested in a reproduceable setup.

          This configures ProcFS security to initially hide
          non-process entries for all contexts except the main and
          spectator context (i.e. for all guests), which is a secure
          default.

          (note: on 1.2x the entries were visible by default)

          When enabled, most context checks will disallow
          access to structures assigned to a specific context,
          like ptys or loop devices.
