LXD VM agent not running in newly created bionic VM

Hi,

I tried creating a new bionic vm with lxc launch ubuntu:18.04 --vm $NAME and the resulting VM doesn't seem to have a VM agent running. lxc shell $NAME returns "Error: LXD VM agent isn't currently running". Afaict it works for focal and newer. Is this expected or a bug?

System info:

Distribution: Ubuntu Distribution version: 23.10
