I'll clarify what I said.
Here is for Morte, I underline the part where I wasn't sure if I was right or not.
Jauggy, you're a little new around here, but Morte is a little pest most of the time, so don't worry about him.
First off, I did a little testing and all of what you said (Morte) is mostly wrong, from my results. Here is a little theory I came up with, that pretty much explains the GP, in my mind. The civilization you choose doesn't matter what GP you will get first, it only matters what you build, and what you tech. Secondly, it's not the last technology, it's a percent of all of them, which I will explain a little farther down. I played as England, and sure enough, I got a Great Leader as I researched Bronze Working first, and only built warriors, archers and a settler. I believe your math is a little off too, Morte. I don't think what you build is done in percentages, but I believe it is a multiplier. Say you research bronze working, then pottery, then Irrigation. If you get your first GP and you only have those three techs, the percent you get a great Leader (Bronze Working), Scientist (Pottery) and Humanitarian (Irrigation) increase, but the chance you get a Great Builder and a Great Explorer are still there. Then, what you have been building is used as a multiplier, to add to these percentages. So, Jauggy got a Great Builder first, meaning that he probably built a building. He didn't research any Great Builder technology, but because of the building he built, he got a multiplier towards getting a Great Builder, which only had a small percentage of getting, until he built a building/wonder.
The way I take it as, is if you research a technology, the type of GP (Not the exact one) associated with that tech is put into a queue of great people.
