This is because these quests, for some reason, requires NPCs such as Arniel Gane and Faralda for its aliases
These NPCs' quest aliases are not optional, which means the aliases need to filled for the quests to start
These NPCs' quest aliases also do not allow reserved, which means if another quest reserves these NPCs, the aliases will not be filled.
In the case of Containment, the Winterhold location reference is a non-optional alias that also does not allow reserved
These NPCs aren't currently used by the MG07 and MG08 quests in any capacity, and their presence as quest aliases might be due to cut content, so there is no reason for these aliases to exist, let alone be required for the quest to start.
Arniel's quests sets him to "allow reserved" for MGRArniel02 and MGRArniel04, so there is no reason why he cannot be "allow reserved" for MGRArniel03
