I would beg the question why they have to follow Robert's Rules to a T when they don't even actually have Robert's Rules. Since it's not our society, it doesn't have to follow the rules of our society. It shouldn't be expected that a legislature that has never been to Earth has the same rules as Earth legislature. Thus, while it may have certainly appeared that Robert's Rules was being used, I would say that they weren't and that it was the case that something similar was being used.

Besides, if we're to be upset over something like this, we ought to be upset over the fact that the ranking system on the Galactica isn't proper but rather a hybrid of various military rankingm systems in our society and, say, over the fact that Tyrol pulls the "right to remain silent" card in "Litmus" when, in our society, military personnel don't have that right.
