The luck is defined as the value of the position after the roll assuming the best play minus the value before the roll (i.e. the average of the 21 outcomes). No. the move of the player doesn't influence the luck (at least in BGBlitz but I'm sure anyone else doing it the same)
GnuBG calculates it the same was as described here by Frank. The actual play made is not considered. Luck = The difference in equity between the BEST Play (not the play made) and the average equity of all possible outcomes.
A good article to read on the matter is by Douglas Zare: http://www.bkgm.com/articles/Zare/AMeasureOfLuck.html
