Visit https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Sandbox, open your browser's development tools > Net panel, then mouse over the links in the informational header. Notice that popups makes API requests to query extracts|pageimages|revisions|info for these hyperlinks. But the titles parameter is empty, so obviously the API returns nothing. resources/ext.popups.renderer.article.js should return early if link.data( 'title' ) is empty. And if there's no data('title') then article.init() shouldn't be called in the first place. It seems mw.popups.selectPopupElements() is trying to filter out blank titles.
This would already significantly reduce that: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/134268/ But popups extension seems to have a lack of contributors, this one is in a state where both I and Prtksxna have contributed and thus don't want to self merge and that sort of leaves it dead in the water.
Change 134268 had a related patch set uploaded by TheDJ: Handle links with empty or no title attributes https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/134268
