I have been down that road as well, but it failed. These are my 2cts,
somebody please correct me if I am wrong. Your /dev pseudo system
inside your jail is an amd64 type where as your userland within your
jail are of i386 type. Those conflict with each-other, causing all
kind of weird and wonderful behavior.

My biggest hint of things really going wrong, came when creating md(4)
devices, from within the jail.
