If I recall correctly it's most likely to be because the the holding area is terrain safe below MSA but the initial part of the approach procedure is not. It becomes an issue following a go-around when the return to the hold might be at a level below MSA and the aircraft would need to climb (shuttle) before starting a second approach.
