Sigh.  When in doubt, testbed.
Apologies for the incorrect information I posted before. I should know better.

No problem. The day that I reach perfection I will complain. 
I did run some tests myself as well.
Partially as I am trying to test combinations of the Robber Baron and the Jump Gate.  [The Jump Gate is also new to me... see post in the Academy section if you are interested in those test results.]

1. Robber Baron in orbit allows any cargo capacity you have there to upload. [Note: I did not specifically test who grabs first as Leit pointed out...]
2. You can steal minerals (and pop in JRC3) when the Starbase is still there. 
3. In all three versions you can upload minerals manually, WP0, or WP1.

I only tested ONE version, but confirmed #2 and #3. #1 is nice as I will not need to make sure the fleets are combined.

*** Kicker *** In JRC4 you can not manually upload pop. And, if you specifiy uploading pop in a WP0 or WP1 order I'm pretty sure it ignores the entire order; ie. combining mineral upload and pop upload gets you nothing. [This might also explain the reported issue with someone being unable to do automatic pop-drops using a fleet containing one or more RB-equipped ships. And, if my brain was working I should have tested that while I had the opportunity.]

Not a problem for me. If I can steal minerals I will be happy.

4. You *can* upload minerals from uninhabited planets in all three versions. Not sure where I got this wrong. Older version, or stupidly checking an uninhabited planet with zero surface minerals and thus assuming I couldn't see any that were there.

Yes, I found that too. I got lucky and one of the empty planets in the testbed had minerals there...
Thanks for your research Kurt.
The game where I am a replacement is NOT an AH game, and I just hope my opponent does not read this.
