Actually units and mines can be deployed while cloaked. You cannot sweep while cloaked though, that is correct. Colonizing I will take your word for. I never put a cloak on a colony ship myself that I can remember.

I can confirm the inability to colonize while cloaked. However, I keep hearing conflicting reports on whether or not a cloaked Minesweeper will or will not uncloak to sweep mines. I will test this at my next opportunity. Check out related entries in the History.txt:

v1.66:
3. Fixed - Cloaked minesweepers will decloak their entire group if they encounter a minefield (regardless of their minister settings).

v1.52:
5. Fixed - If a cloaked minesweeper is about to enter a sector with a known minefield, it will decloak.

v1.15:
5. Fixed - Improved the AI Minesweeping minister.

The jury is still out.
