About character_mad_artist - from script file it should spawn on trade station PAR/TRI but PAR don't have any trade station only Second Dutchy Palace, so NPC don't have place to spawn.
About character_mad_producer - ARG Argon don't build any trade station in Black Hole Sun and anywhere on map .
in all saves, they stop to spawn , exclusion is for character_mad_scientist this one spawn correctly in TEL Wharf.
If they have a unique spawn location and station, suggest making them spawn at any faction shipyard , wharf, equipment dock, or trading station in any sector. So they don't have station to spawn because faction have hard coded trade station limit 1, and its already used by PAR Second Dutchy Palace and ARG Memento Mori
