I admit I'm not seeing the problem with your scenario, I like the contains solution. The contains relationship hangs off of whatever entities you choose to hang it off of, no? If neither you nor anyone else has chosen to do the authority work to collocate, say, different versions of Moby

What the RDA folks (that is, the folks who have created RDA, the JSC members) said (some of them off-list to me), is that if your manifestation is an aggregate, then your Expression must be an equal aggregate. So the Expression is pretty much one-to-one with the Manifestation. (And I think we
