Mm. The problem I have with quicksand is that it conveys the vibe of having just wandered into an area and, oh shit, there's quicksand! An aspect of the other metaphor that I like is the idea that you can go into a situation with good intentions of helping out, but that somehow all future complaint about the situation becomes your fault and you can never remove yourself.
