You sometimes cannot steal cargo from a non-hostile ship even if it doesn't have cargo bay shielding.
Steps:
1. Get close to a ship.
2. Activate Cargo Bay Hacker by being within 300m of a non-capital ship or 600m of a capital ship.
3. Sometimes you'll get an error that you cannot steal cargo due to cargo bay shielding, but that shielding is not in the targeted ship.
EDIT: Works as intended as stated by Cycrow. Looks like it's hidden on ships that have it activated.

I mean that you can't steal installed extensions.

Re: [BUG] Cannot steal cargo but no cargo bay shielding
The Cargo bay shielding can hide wares from your scanners, including itself.
So the ship probably does have it installed, you just cant see it, unless the shielding fails

yes, when you scan a ship with shielding, it has a certain chance of success, which is proportional to the amount its trying to hide. So it can fail to hide wares sometimes
