A bit of both :)

The Wikipedia article Ancient_Greek used the template:Language instead
of Template:Infobox_Language. Template:Language is a redirect to
Infobox_Language, so the article content displays correctly. We had no
automated approach to include template-redirects, and we only included
the most common template-redirects manually. And missed the
template:Language.

I've just simply changed the Wikipedia article Ancient_Greek to use
template:Infobox_Language now, so we will be fine with the next
extraction (will it be the next dataset release once there is a new
Wikipedia dump, or via live-update if we manage to implement that soon
:)

Best,
Georgi

PS: We should follow up on the conversation we had in London in March
about including your work with ChemBoxes into DBpedia...
