Does gold at least add to ones score, so that this behaviour would
make sense from that angle?

Anyway, maybe the rule for trading cities away should modified by
calculating the AI "profit" from buying tech for a city like:

value(techs):= sum[techs] has(tech)*weight(tech)

value(empire):= total_output_economy(empire)*value(techs)

value(trade):= value(empire after trade)-value(empire before trade);

AI surely would not trade away its last city, since 
value(empireaftertrade)==0 and value(empirebeforetrade)>0
and thus value(trade)<0 i.e. not a profit
