It's really best to save your game before entering Castle Volkihar and getting a new quest, it would appear which quest you get is decided randomly, I once got the quest for the Blood Rings, but one of the rings spawned in The Katariah, so I had to reload quite a few times, to get it again, and for it to spawn in another desirable location...
This is the best solution.
I've re-started (for the 2nd time) my newest vampire character and have taken to getting quests and then forgetting them. So far they don't seem to glitch up unless the quest location becomes the location for another quest (see especially the Lost Legends quest). I've also taken to completing the objectives for the quest but not returning to the Castle, which has done well in allowing me to do stuff outside of Vamp quest lines.
But always, always save before entering the castle so you can change the new quest if need be.
