Thanks for asking.  I created a bug report for that and one other bug I found that seems to affect all of the official Debian and Ubuntu OS Templates.  The bug yum mention was discovered during the beta period and fixed... but somehow it found its way back.

I appreciate the Proxmox guys helping out but we all know the better solution is to get the OpenVZ official OS Templates fixed so users won't have to ramble their way to alternative OS Templates from other projects.

TYL,
