Do Nanofiber Internal Structures, Inertial stabilizers, Low Friction Nozzle Joints, and Polycarbon Engine Housings all share the same penalty if stacking?

Short answer, yes.

Long answer: Attributes are stacked. Meaning, if two modules provide an agility bonus, then the agility bonus is stacked.

IIRC the only things that don't stack are DCU resists and some rigs (drone scope and... something else I can't remember.)

edit: Also, load up EFT or pyFA and add multiple modules and see if the attribute in question changes less and less as you add modules.

Gotcha, thanks! I wasn't sure about rigs, and modules sharing the same penalty.

For some reason, I thought I read the DCU stacks with the RAH. I might be insane though.

It does. It's the only oddity like that I can think of off the top of my head.

I guess it's further worth noting that stacking -- and thus the stacking penalty -- only apply to multiplicative bonuses. Additive bonuses -- like the extra shields from an extender -- add normally without stacking. But since stacking is per attribute and not module, the signature increase on extenders are stacking penalized -- in this case in the same stack as hostile painters and your own MWD sig bloom.
