I see a few threads about a strategic resource not counting here and I have been able to reproduce it. If you receive a strategic resource tile that is improved before you have the appropriate tech you do not get the resource added to your count, even after you get the tech for it.
The most common instance of this is getting an alien nest in your borders. The alien nest counts as an improvement that gives the xenomass underneath it. However if you acquire the tile before you have learned Alien Sciences it will never give you the xenomass (at least nests are easy to clear and replace with wells).
I was also able to reproduce this with geothermal. I conquered a city that had an improved geothermal tile before I had Geophysics. I was never able to get the geothermal added to my total. You can see this in the attached saved, the geothermal tile is on the south of my nation by the city Santo Adriao.
