My reading of the chart also says that if you miss, you can't try
again directly out of the missed hold; you need to get clearance back
to (for example) ARBIH and start again from there.


Where are you seeing that? The missed hold is at CARBON, which is an IAF.
Since you are clearly not arriving from V208 (which happens to be along R-
164), why can't you start the approach from CARBON?


Well, I'm not really sure about this, but here's my thinking...

The only reason I can think of to disallow arrivals along V208 is
because there isn't enough protected airspace north of CARBON to allow
the course reversal that would be required. Seems to me the same would
be true if you're inbound to CARBON in the hold. On the other hand, if
you've got room to make the outbound turn, I guess you should have room
to just make a right turn to heading 220 or so after crossing CARBON
inbound and intercept the 195 radial outbound.

You are certainly correct that there's nothing on the plate that
explicitly says that, but that's my guess. I suppose the way it would
really work is that you call ATC from the hold and ask for clearance for
another approach. They'll either clear you for the approach directly
from the hold, or give you something that takes you to ARBIH or
somewhere else to begin the approach from.
