No, they aren't even close in law or in proper English.  They do get mixed a lot by illiterate TV "reporters".  But burglary involves entering a home to steal property but not to confront the residents, while robbery means taking from a person by violence.  So "not fully synonymous" is rather a bizarre way of putting it; it's a bit like saying that orange and blue are not fully synonymous.
