As far as I know the Gilbatar is meant to ALWAYS spawn next to a mountain.. it's possible that for whatever the reason the resource was created first followed by the Natural wonder which turned the tile into a mounttain tile by default.
Yeah gibraltar always does something weird like that. In my current game i was excited to spot it with my first boat just to the west of my capital. I came to find out it was by itself except for a lonely tile which was labelled mountain but squished flat as a pancake. Not helpful at all!

That is the likely explanation yes. Or more likely, iirc. from the way assignstartingplots.lua is structure, what probably happened is originally tile was jungle and therefore added to the list of tiles that was a suitable candidate for bananas, then Gibraltar got placed and tile got turned into mountain, but was not cleared from the banana list, and then the area was judged to have low fertility and banana was added to make it more suitable for start. But either way, it looks fun.
