My problem is described on the provided URL, there’s also a patch for it. However, it seems that it was not merged into current netifrc repository on git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/netifrc.git. Reproducible: Always
I just verified that this is still a problem.
To be honest now I would say it works for me. I might have used an older package the first time. It would be nice if someone could confirm independently and the bug could then be closed.
@Pavel: I couldn't follow the original bug's actual complaint. Roy's first patch (http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/openrc/projects/openrc/attachment/ticket/152/family.diff.html) on that bug is definitely present in netifrc (was committed in openrc before the split). Maybe you can explain better what OpenVZ is doing with default routes.
