Would this prevent mirror sites from 'scraping' noindex pages? This would be a definite improvement as talk pages are often a depository of libel and whilst we can remove and oversight material on wp pages we're powerless to do anything on a mirror

Perhaps the ideal solution is one that omits these pages from search results UNLESS the user specifically requests them in some way (for example, a search term including "site:en.wikipedia.org")... but I kinda doubt that's realistic, on my part.
I'll be sorry to lose some ability to find information easily, but it's an unfortunate conundrum that articles and discussion pages are given the same weight,
Very unlikely. Notice how rarely a talk page beats out it's article page.
