"Temporary failure in name resolution" when pinging container with uppercase name

LXD
1

I have 3 containers (t1, t2 and tC) in the same ovn network. They can ping each other, except tC for some reason. Looks like having uppercase letters in the name causes problems. Following are the commands I used to create this setup:

apt-get update
apt-get -y install thin-provisioning-tools ovn-central ovn-host

snap switch --channel=5.4/stable lxd
snap refresh lxd

cat <<EOF | lxd init --preseed
