For some of the examples you're asking about, it depends on how the components are being used. The first choke in a choke input filter will generate a large AC field that can couple to any nearby choke or transformer attached to the signal path. A chokes with smaller AC voltage across it, such as a choke in a CLC filter, is relatively benign. I wouldn't be concerned about coupling from a power transformer to a filament transformer.
