In the data editor, it won't let me place a refinery (as well as assimilator and extractor) on a vespene geyser, and it DOES let me place it everywhere else. When i run the map, I can manually place a refinery on the very same geyser, and it doesn't allow me to place them elsewhere.
I've checked my refinery unit, geyser unit, and footprints, and everything is in working order. Is there anything else that could cause this kind of strange behavior in the editor?
Building a Refinery (i.e. in game) and placing a Refinery (i.e. in the editor) are likely 2 different processes. My guess is building requires a vespene geyser, but placing one in the editor "includes" a geyser already underneath the Refinery.

Actually what he is saying is that you can't place a refinery in the editor at all, even if there is a geyser.
Actually, SiNiquity is right, placing a Refinery in the editor places both the Refinery and the geyser.
@SquarelyCircle: if you want to put a Refinery with a geyser underneath within the editor, delete any vespene geyser at this location and place only the Refinery.
Then launch the game, destroy the refinery and you should see the vespene geyser spawning naturally.
P.S: if you want to remove the linked geyser, you can delete the behaviour "Harverstable Vespene Geyser Gas" from the Refinery in the data editor.
