All her moves make sense and even if some little luck was involved with Iron being there, her position without Iron would still be quite superior to the starting one.
Considering she wanted to build warrior(s) to grow and not worker first (which imho seems much safer considering the distance between civs), moving to have the rice 1st ring was the thing to do. The warrior second move which spotted the deer makes that moving decision a winner, but spotting the gold was the real 'problem' (can't blame her, moving the warrior where it is was the only movement that make sense).
It (the gold alone) makes settling where she decides a good move with or without the iron.
If we wanted to avoid that, we (the map makers) should have checked that no one could have discovered a better place by just moving the exploring warrior/scout (I remember reading that we had a criteria saying that moving should not lead to a worst situation, unfortunalty it was probably impossible to check that no one could have found a much better place 2t away).
