I have had a few skill-ups on grey mining nodes due I assume to a guild perk. has this happened to anyone else? And on something other than a gathering skill.

Were you carrying a mining pick/gnomish army knife/etc/using an enchant that gives a bonus to +mining?
If you were, the node will show as gray, but it might be "yellow/green" to your relative (not adjusted) skill, and will still give you skillups.
My mage got 600 mining by mining "gray" Ghost Iron deposits.

I am carrying a GPK but when I finally noticed these skill-ups were happening my base skill level was nearing 590. It should not have mattered. For that matter I was of the opinion that gathering chants and the GPK only affected whether or not a node was mine-able and nothing else. In my case there was certainly no question that the Ghost Iron nodes were mine-able.
The guild perk Working Overtime II otoh gives a + 20% chance to get a skill-up on the use of a skill. It appears that this 20% may ignore whether the recipe is grey or not.

My guild didn't have either rank of Working Overtime at the time I was levelling my mining, so I don't think that was a factor in my case.

Then it would appear the tool tip is wrong and that Ghost Iron is not really gray when it says it is. On something this basic that kind of surprises me.

I think it has to do with the racial bonus, or guild perk. My dranei did get skillups while mining from 590 to 600 on Ghost Iron. I think they left it this way because of a previous expansion (Cata? don't remember) your perk actually created a hole for levelling up a skill and made it slightly more diffucult to work around skillups.
