Начнём с первого способа, если вам нужно узнать английский термин Вы должны использовать слово What

What’s it called in English?

How обычно используется, чтобы уточнить, каким образом что-то происходит, например

How do I get to the train station? — Как (каким образом) я могу добраться до вокзала?.

Как называется это мороженое? — What is this ice-cream called?
Как называется эта желтая ягодка? — What is this yellow berry called?
Как выглядит страчателла? — What does stracciatella look like?
Как выглядит физалис? — What does physalis look like?

Теперь по поводу второго способа. В предложенном Вами варианте How to say it in English? тема вопроса «Как сказать это по английски?» здесь отсутствует, т.е. не тот смысл сказанного, это скорее утверждение, а не вопрос, а вопрос, например, будет строиться так:

Can you tell me, please, how to say ПРИВЕТ in English?
Do you know how to say ПРИВЕТ in English?

Так, что если Вам нужно спросить Как это по английски? не мудрите, а говорите просто:

What is it in English?

We are confusing and conflating these forms here:

1. How do you say … (in X)? This is asking for a word or phrase, perhaps specifying in language X.
Example: *How do you say you’re welcome in Hebrew? How do you say sandals in Japanese?*
2. What do you call … (in X)? This is asking for a word or phrase for something you’re pointing at or describing. It may expect an answer in English, or in another language.
Example: *What do you call a helicopter in Cantonese? What do you call the blue thing on top of that box? What do you call that color? What do you call that color in French?*
3. How do you call … ? This is asking for a procedure: how do you call a waitress, a cat, a taxi. The expected answer can’t be Toots, Felix, Yellow Cab.
4. What’s … name? This is asking for a noun word or phrase in the same language.
Examples: What’s your name? What’s the name of the movie you saw?
5. How do you …? This question can take lots of different predicates, and the answers will all include verbs.

All these forms are good, grammatical, idiomatic English when used this way. Any other uses of these forms would be non-idiomatic, non-standard, and maybe incomprehensible.

The difficulty arises when foreigners use their own grammar and thought patterns, but with English words. Lei come si chiama? in Italian, literally means how do you call yourself? and does not expect the answer “I use a cellphone”. In idiomatic English this is what’s your name? The Italian is wired to use this form for forms 2 and 4 above, never using the word “name” in questions like those. In fact, if an Italian pointed to something and asked another Italian what that thing’s name is, he would be thought facetious, expecting an answer like “It reminds me of Sally, so let’s just call it Sally for now.”

This difficulty cuts both ways. If you ask a Spanish speaker for his name, using form 4 above, you would say “Cual es su nombre”. He would be within his rights to answer “My name is the unique label by which I am distinguished from others in the room”. You should ask como se llama, but you’re not wired for that, it’s not one of the forms on our list.

So now to answer the questions.

What evidence is there that «How do you call…» is, or is not, a legitimate phrasal usage or expression in English?
How do you call is legitimate in English – see form 3 – but only in the use allowed in form 3. Otherwise you do two things: you risk not being understood within the flow of speech, and you cause a needless proliferation of forms when we have a good one present already. I know this is getting into the descriptive-prescriptive debate, which is a different can of worms, but we’re there anyway just by discussing the question. Your Ngram is all the evidence needed for pointing out that this is ono-standard. As for legitimate, well, that’s an opinion.

Could it be called a dialectal variant? Why is it considered non-standard?
These are two questions. First, no, I know of no such dialectical variant. Second, I have already shown why it’s non-standard above. And indeed your Ngram shows that it’s non-standard. There’s another thing about Ngrams: in a world in which educational standards are dropping, along with IQs pace the Flynn effect, more and more examples of poor English are going to show up. Just because a form is standard in language A doesn’t mean that it should become standard in language B, and this becomes very obvious when A and B are from different families.

Your final question pair:
How (!) do linguists define the «How do you call…» vs. «What do you call…» debate? Has any interest been shown in this lexical divergence between Romance languages and English?
The ! is unnecessary – this is a perfectly valid use of form 5 above. AFAIK, This debate doesn’t have a name of its own – it’s not important enough to deserve one.
The divergence between Romance and English here is not primarily lexical, but structural. As such, it’s of prime importance in language learning – as you can see by the mistakes of those who haven’t paid attention. Unfortunately, most language teaching starts with vocabulary to the exclusion of structure, so they teach the como se llama usted : what’s your name equivalence almost as a single lexical chunk on each side of the colon, making comprehension and analysis of the structures very difficult for the learner. It would be far better if they used this as an early opportunity to teach that learning a foreign language is not just – indeed not even – a matter of word lists.
