I have built Manufactories on 2 Gold tiles near my capital. I can not build the Mint building, it says I need to improve Gold near this city. The Gold tiles are showing the +2 gold from improving the tile -- and the tiles are being worked.
 
Building any Great Person building on a resource tile, gives you the bonus of the tile, as well as the great person bonus, but it is not considered "improved" for the mint (gold/silver) or stone works (stone) etc. You must have actually used a worker on the tile.
 
in the process of "settling" the great person, the tooltip tells you when the resource will be connected by the tile improvement. I do that regularly with iron, horses etc with Great Artists in culture games and the resource stays connected.
However, buildings like forge, stable and stoneworks become unavailable as they require the actual tile improvement (i.e. mine etc.)
 
I believe Great Person Improvements connect strategic resources, but not luxury resources.
Better not put a Great Person Improvement on a luxury resource.
