Just checked and this still happens on 1.1.4
It seems some recipes have a fluid box added to the assembly machine despite not using "data" in the recipe.

I haven't played in 5 months and just did a quick skim over my factory so I don't have a list of every affected recipe, the liquid concrete recipe from Crushing Industry was the first one I was able to find. There may be more or it may be a bug with how liquid concrete fluid boxes are set up.
I was unable to get non-data fluids into the data pipe as OP described.
