This bug existed in BTS before and is still around in 3.13:

If you use a Great General to make a unit a leader unit the new promotions are kinda stuck. Meaning this: in the screenshot I just hit the "Leadership"-Promotion button, but nothing happens. The game won't recognize that you pushed it until you either wait a round, walk around or switch to the desktop and back to the game. VERY annoying!

I was unable to reproduce this bug - the "leadership" button worked fine for me. Are you running any mods? Does this bug always happen for you?

It doesn't matter what promotion it is, leadership or something else, it happens ALL the time with any great general and any given other unit I try to promote.
And no Mods installed, in fact this is a fresh installation Civ4 + BTS + 3.13.
Before I had Civ4, Warlods, BTS and all Patches that existed till then - and there I had the same bug.

Don't know if it matters, but I join the two single units together, then move them out of the city, merge them into one Leader-Unit and then I try to give it the promotions.

Now I can confirm this: if you DON'T stack the two units together before moving them out of the city, the promotion works flawlessly!
 
This happened once or twice to me as well, pre 3.13 I don't know how to reproduce it.
 
Ah, ok, so it's a function of the stacking. I'll give that a try and see if it does the same here.

Hmm, that is annoying, because it's actually registering the mouse hits, but it's not updating the display. So you can end up selecting a bunch of upgrades that you don't actually want.

This happens to me too from time to time, but it's not a new bug. It's been around since at least 3.02 as far as I remember. Whenever it happens I click on a different unit, click back on the general, and the promotions list has updated.
 
Ok, I've found a fix for this and included it as part of the Unofficial patch.

Great! Unbelievable, how bad they screwed this one up again...Community rulez ;)
