Hm, I searched for the info on unit promotions on Civ Fanatics, and I only saw what you presented, with nothing on the odds being halved for defenders. So I guess I was mistaken and that that only applies to GL generation, not simple unit promotion.
Heck, you can see how I would make a mistake like that. The odds for non-militaristic and vs. barbarians are halved from otherwise, so I remembered seeing the odds halved, and since they were halved for defenders elsewhere (GL generation), I unconsciously generalized. Sorry about that.
Also, just to make myself clear, when I say "defenders", I'm refering to when any elite is defending, not just to "defensive" units like spearmen, pikemen, etc. One more thing: The odds of generating a Great Leader from a given elite victory are the same for militaristic and non-militaristic civs, right? (Obviously, militaristic civs will tend to have more elites, and thus more elite victories, though.)
