The problem is not with SPAN, per se, but with any element
that has an ID attribute and is embedded in an Anchor. Lynx treats
such attributes as NAME-ed Anchors, in compliance with the HTML 3.0
draft and i18n RFC (both accessible via the online 'h'elp). You
thus could use #p1 ... #p6 or #s1 ... #s6 fragments to seek those
positions in the document. Unfortunately, in the vanilla code the
NAME-ed Anchors when embedded in HREF-ed Anchors cause the latter
to be terminated, so in that markup they would end up as hidden
links. I fixed that bug some time ago in the fotemods code set,
and if works fine with that URL, but the fix hasn't yet been
incorporated into the development code set.
