I have had this experience twice now. Is it a feature?
In a single player game, as Caretakers, practicing my start and tactics for Manifold 6, I waited till Morgan discovered gene splicing, and then probed him for it: I got his map.
In NU2, I waited until Misotu and Tau Ceti had just discovered HEC and D:AP (same turn, and passed to Misotu), and I probed Mis twice, and got: first her map???, then the only other tech she had that I didn't, Int Integrity. (luckily I cashed a pod, and got HEC, and Googlie and I still beat them to MMI by 1 turn, and I was able to instabuild the CF, and CA).
Is this known to all. If it is a feature, it precludes stealing a tech, the turn someone discovers it, and stealing a SP. I would then always give you 1 turn of grace, to prepare to build that SP, that you got because of an unexpected tech from a pod pop, gift, or whatever.
Does anyone else have experience, or knowledge in this area?

but I haven't seen that before. Maybe getting a map is a random choice along with getting a tech, albeit very small.....? Otherwise, I can't explain it...
