if you look at /snap/classic/current/bin/classic you will notice that
we already do this:

...
# FIXME: workaround for https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1611493
SCRIPT="script --quiet --return --command \"$SUDOCMD\" /dev/null"

CMD="$DEVPTS; $SCRIPT"

systemd-run --quiet --scope --unit=classic-$$.scope --
description="Classic shell" chroot "$ROOT" sh -c "$CMD"
...

i assume the "/dev/pts already mounted" error is the issue here, seems
systemd-run does not properly clean up on the stzop event and you keep
the former pts instance around.

i filed http://pad.lv/1653648 for this and will dig into it ...
