I was playing around with an old save that had 205 dwarves, and to my surprise, I had an immigrant wave of peasants/miners come in with some nobles. It's been stated several times that the population cap is 200, so this is probably a bug.

A couple of names were in purple, so this might have something to do with that particular bug:

Here's the pop at 209 (I had to take it when the immigrants first arrived)-

purply names:

and the final tally:

Nobles still come, and if the nobles (including the fake nobles like that recruit) bring family members, you can go well over the cap.  It's a fairly soft cap -- it just means you shouldn't get additional migrants on top of the nobles and their families.  Your dwarves can also probably have children.

Holy Armok!~

That means I'll keep getting immigration waves as long as their 'nobles'? I hope that 'soft' cap is really soft- this might be fun to see how big I can get

The fake noble bug (which is now fixed) causes it to give you a fake noble of the same type as each dead unit, pretty much, with a maximum of one per type per spring migration.  At least I think that's how it worked.
