Since various lube/transmission/gear oils are billed as "synthetic blends"
can we assume that mineral oil and synthetic oil can in fact be mixed with no
bad effect and if so why not with hydraulic fluid as well?

Castrol GTLMA states on the can that it contains "Alkyl Polyglycol Ether
Esters" which by definition IS synthetic. Castrol has stated in the past
that although not so stated on the can, GTLMA is a synthetic. Apparently
they now feel that there is some advantage to saying so on the can. I
think that by now including "synthetic" & stating that & you "may
notice a slight difference" are merely an attempt to update their
sales pitch.
Valvoline "SynPower" also a Dot 3, Dot 4 synthetic is just as good or
better than Castrol & a lot easier to find.
