Copyright applies to actual text (or other forms of expression), not to ideas or the content.
Since the items do not allow to enter wikitext, there is no compatibility issue due to the license. Filling the language links based on the existing language links in the Wikipedias is not a problem re copyright.

Wouldn't that kind of transfer be a violation of the CC-BY-SA license used on Wikipedia, considering it is not compatible[1] with CC0?
If the data is actually copyrightable, then yes. Facts as such are not copyrightable. But if there was a bot transferring stuff from infoboxes, it should at least check for any actual text (e.g. long values with spaces), and not transfer it, because of license reasons.
