Screenshot of the dialogs in question

I don't see the problems, at most the documentation needs improvement.

Captions that belong to a category should be consistent. If you modify the
newly created a category "Text" from the example, all attributes are applied to
captions of this category. An example would be images named <chapter>.<number>
(because your document has a lot) but tables just <number> (since it has a
few).

The Insert Caption dialog has a separator for the caption name ("Text:" or
"Text."...) while the caption Options' separator deals with the chapter ("Text
1.a:" or "Text 1-a:"). IMO no problem.

Per Character Style it is possible to use bold font, for example, at the
numbering coming from a special character style. If this CS is using a border I
cannot disable it by not checking the "Apply border and shadow" checkbox -
smells like a bug. And I'm having a hard time to figure the use case where I
set-up a CS but use not all attributes. My take: remove the checkbox.
