so, here's what I found:
if I install from one of the CentOS 5 template (either full or minimal, same problem), it will work properly. I can restart the VM many times without problem.
When I run vzyum <vm> update it will trigger the problem and the pty will be missing each time I restart the VM.
Not sure if it matters but I have dag added to my yum repositories:
