I'm not sure Barbs captured workers/settlers in Civ 3, but certainly they did in Civ 4...I like that Barbs can capture workers and settlers though. That is an improvement I'll admit.
where's the improvement?

Barbs don't capture; they plunder. Rather than gaining control of the city a good deal of your gold goes missing. I once stuck a city way out in the middle of nowhere to get the +10 natural wonder and kept wondering why my treasury was so low since I was raking in the dough. I was ignoring the pop-up things on the side and it turns out Medina was totally flooded with barbs. When a warrior attacked I lost gold but the city stayed.
I always wanted to know what happens if one city-state captures another, because city-states always raze any city they capture, yet city-states themselves cannot be razed.
Like you said, I think these situations (barbs taking cities or city-states capturing each other) are probably impossible.
