All I can provide now are a few hints. CentOS 5 template will be 
available in a few weeks or so.

1. Check if /dev is hosted on tmpfs. If yes -- find out where in 
initscripts /dev is mounted using tmpfs, and get rid of this mount.

2. Try to (forcibly I suppose) remove udev package from the VE, and 
install back vzdev package.

3. Copy the /dev/ttyp* and /dev/ptyp* devices from VE0 into VE.

4. Make sure /dev/pts is mounted inside a VE.

5. Check if your kernel is compiled with the following options:

CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y
