Re-reading this question the answer should be "no". I'm running Clear Linux on the host, I boot into PureOS via systemd-nspawn. So PureOS is running in a container.
Ah! So, you are running debspawn in a PureOS container created with systemd-nspawn? That's probably not a good idea, because it means you are nesting containers, as debspawn will create another ephemeral container on its own as well. So I guess this behavior might be some kind of bug related to nesting containers (I am actually very surprised that nspawn lets you do that - I never tried that but always thought that it wouldn't work anyway.
Cheers, Matthias
P.S: Debspawn will probably work on any distribution that has debootstrap, but I don't think anyone has tried that yet.
