Looking through Jeff1787's charts it appears that masonry has been removed from GP tech preferences thus restoring the GP CS slingshot. Is this correct?

Load the BUG mod (see my sig below) and you can see which tech each GP will research based on what techs you have researched and have selected to research in the TechChooser.

BUG includes some of the same mods that HoF includes, so they need to be used separately. The reason is that they modify many of the same files. While you could try to run them together, I expect you'd get mixed results.
Uh... what?It's also possible to slingshot Civil Service with the use of a Great Merchant, in any version of either vanilla or Warlords. Here's how:
- avoid Bronze Working so as to block Metal Casting
- avoid both Priesthood and Monotheism so as to block Monarchy
- beeline Pottery - Writing - Mathematics - Currency - Code of Laws
- also get Sailing and Mining
- either build the Great Lighthouse, or build a market and hire two Merchants to pop the Great one (while you research Code of Laws and the other techs)
Uh... what?
Right... avoid all those... better to just slap my butt and call me Sally
Don't knock it till you've tried it.
What, the technique? Or the butt slap?
AItrade 10 means the AI is NOT willing to trade the tech - all the military techs seem to have 10.
