I tested and the update-source loopback command had to be used in all
cases where you point to a loopback address. Regardless of whether you
have an eBGP or an iBGP peer relationship. eBGP multihop is added to get
around the TTL=1 issue of BGP when working with an eBGP peer.
So the story is:
Add neighbor x.x.x.x eBGP-multihop 2<-- or higher if you want to eBGP
peers when going to a loopback.

I believe you are correct. You have to use the loop in the neighbor
statement for update-source loop 0 to be effective.
And you need to use EBGP-Multihop when peering ebgp peers via loopback
addresses.
