Specifically those numbers are from the languagePopulation elements

The data for DE in PL in CLDR specifically references a source:

<reference type="R1277" 
uri="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_minority_in_Poland";>regional-official
in part of Opole Voivodeship; in Poland 325 schools with primary
instr in German, estimate 37000 students. Real figure probably
higher.</reference>

Though the numbers on that page don't get near the 7 million
that is being claimed.

Yeah, that seems widely off. Wikipedia says "0.38%" which is in
approximate agreement with "0.5%" that I cited above.

I wonder how good the data is for other territories.

There's a big chart of the data, with links for reporting bugs here:
