Any idea why salaries for C/C++ developers seem to be way below average in these stats?

Least paid developer type is game development. And c++ is commonly used there.

International responses skew the salary data and make it useless.

This is true. It always feels weird answering these kinds of questions living outside of the US. You can easily have a salary that is several times the average of your country (I'm talking like 20x) and still make about half of what you'd make in the US, when shown in USD.

C++ is consistently less well paid than Java in the US and in the UK.

C/C++ are basically languages used only for technical products, while Java/web is used internally by pretty much every large company on Earth. This puts immense pressure on salaries.
