So I have two simultaneous issues with container weights, apparently. Replicating the issue is trivial: make a character, add a backpack to their inventory, put something in the backpack.
First issue: the weight of the backpack isn't displayed in-line like everything else in the inventory is - I have to click on the backpack to find out how much it weighs.
Second issue, which is more important: the sum of the weights of the backpack's contents aren't listed, which is absolutely critical, as backpacks have a weight limit of 30 pounds of gear.
Both issues apply to all containers - e.g. you can use a sack instead of a backpack and the same problems will arise (sacks have the same weight limit).

As was explained in the pinned thread specify about this update with the containers, this is merely phase 1 of many:
