Older 1.2 V NiCads usually have an 800 milliampere rating, there are new ones with capacities of 1,200 and 1, 600 milliamperes. Will these higher capacity batteries harm the flash units i.e. burn them out due to excessive power?

The high capacity batteries will last longer, but they can't deliever any more power to the flash. In fact they'll deliever slightly less power due to higher internal resistance, so if anything it's the batteries that'll be damaged. None of the small T-flashes draw much current, so just go ahead, it'll work just fine.
