gvproxy the process that handles the VM networking does not seem to handle ICMP well. So that seems to be a limitation there and would need to be fixed there.

(3) why can I reach the IPs inside the subnet using ping before a container is running?

Because there is no bridge interface/routing rule when there are no containers running so all the taffic exits via default gw thus gvproxy. Once the container is running the 10.88.0.0/16 or whatever subnets your network uses has a local route on the bridge so traffic is no longer send to the default gw.
