Some quests don't have a marker, you might need to find a location, wait for night, collect things etc.

for the Dragon on Skyborn altar, it is on map - I've cleared it already.

The other quest I also have the location on my map - but the Journal won't point to it

This can also happen if you have a menu open before selecting the journal. Sometimes it seems to have trouble with quests just east or northeast of Markarth, seemingly indicating the Lovers Stone.

There are numerous quests that dont have an actual location icon, such as the "find 20 nirnroots". This is intended design.

True, but there also seems to be a bug with some Radiant quests where there should be show-on-map, but isn't. It's just one of a number of Heisenbugs in the Journal/Quest system, like not removing quests when they are finished (five good deeds for Hallfinger nearly always plays that game).
