So what you are saying is that because the involuntary charger is prevented from moving due its inability to burst through the friendly BG in its path it cannot move in the maneuver phase, but a voluntary charger that cannot move because of, presumably, subsequently intervening friendly troops can move in the maneuver phase. The difference being that the involuntary charge is a compulsory move.
Yes - and because both scenarios are covered by the rules. One on page 51 and the other on page 58.

Sounds like either both should be able to move or both not in reality. Howver, it's what the rules say and both must be very rare - don't think I've seen either.
