HTML Validator vs Yoast SEO breadcrumbs

Hello. Recently, I refused the former breadcrumbs in favor of Yoast SEO breadcrumbs. Now I checked my site with HTML Validator. The results contain homogeneous errors:
Error: End tag p seen, but there were open elements. Unclosed element “span”.
Their number varies depending on the depth of the links, but the validator always points to Yoast SEO breadcrumbs.
Sample:
<a href="https://mysite/" rel="v:url" property="v:title">home</a> » <a href="https://mysite/category" rel="v:url" property="v:title">category-name</a> » <a href="https://mysite/category/subcat" rel="v:url" property="v:title">subcat-name</a>
Here you can see breadcrumbs generate , but only one is always closed.
Tell me, please, is such construction necessary for Yoast SEO breadcrumbs or is it a bug in the plugin code? Thank you.

In the code generated by Yoast SEO, all elements should be closed. Can you please check the following?
- You’re running the latest version of WordPress 4.8 and Yoast SEO 5.0.2
- You’ve implemented the Yoast breadcrumbs as described in this guide: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/implement-wordpress-seo-breadcrumbs/

Yes that’s right. I use these newest versions and your code.
These are unclosed tags in the source code of the page in any browser. I checked all files of my theme, but not found any errors. Moreover, developer tools in the browser show all the tags are closed as expected. In truth I can not understand the cause. Mystical mistake))

@dosolnce Have you tried doing a conflict check?

@jerparx, yes, I did it after your question. Nothing changed.

If the problem still occurs when Yoast SEO is the only plugin active and your theme is on Twenty Seventeen, we’d need to have a close look at your website to investigate the problem. Unfortunately, we are unable to do so on these forums. Please, refer to this KB article to know how to get premium personal support: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/support/#premium
