Yes, that's one of the few explanations that would make sense. Sort of
like claustrophobia for elemental ;) After all, when taken BTB, like
someone said you could just order the spirit to go astral, and manifest
outside the container. That doesn't make it much of a weakness IMHO; in
fact it could be useful -- put the spirit into a small, airtight container
and smuggle it in somewhere (okay, not that I can see immediately where
this would be useful, but it can be done).
