Confirmation that utilization is independent of wort gravity:
BBR conducted actual measurements of the IBUs in 3 beers, one with a boil gravity of 1.127, one with late extract addition for a boil grav of 1.077, and one with a full boil at 1.068.
The same hopping schedule was used for all 3, and hop utilization is identical for all 3; the March 4, 2010 - BYO-BBR Experiment III:

(it also confirms that late addition can help make a lighter beer, though the effect is small).
