Comment:

 I've just tested in 2.9.1 and then again in 2.9.2 and 3.0.

 Here is what I got in each case:

 {{{
 <!-- generator="WordPress/2.9.1" -->
 <li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="http://wordpress.stable/about/"
 title="About"><span>About</span></a></li>
 }}}

 {{{
 <!-- generator="WordPress/2.9.2" -->
 <li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="http://wordpress.stable/about/"
 title="About"><span>About</span></a></li>
 }}}

 {{{
 <!-- generator="WordPress/3.0-alpha" -->
 <li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="http://wordpress.stable/about/"
 title="About"><span>About</span></a></li>
 }}}

 In each case as you can see the {{{<span>}}} and {{{</span>}}} were
 inserted before and after the word "About".

 The code I used was the following:

 {{{
 <?php the_generator('comment'); ?>
 <?php
 wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&link_before=<span>&link_after=</span>');
 ?>
 }}}

 From the codex page that describes the arguments for this function:

 link_before [[BR]]
 (string) Sets the text or html that proceeds the link text inside <a> tag.
 (This parameter was added with Version 2.7)

 link_after [[BR]]
 (string) Sets the text or html that follows the link text inside <a> tag.
 (This parameter was added with Version 2.7)

 I cannot reproduce this problem.
