Most wp_nav_menu parameters ignored

I'm trying to get a text-based navigation menu for the footer of my site. I'm using the wp_nav_menu() parameters as directed by Codex. He're a snippet of code (in footer.php):

div id="footer"
    ?php wp_nav_menu(array('depth'=1, 'after'='span class="sep"|/span')); ?br /
    div id="address"
        p.../p
    /div
    div id="contactInfo"
        p.../p
        p.../p
    /div
/div!-- #footer --

So, my goal is to make the menu look like Home | About | MorePages with only the root-level pages included.

The problem:

The after parameter is ignored! If I try before and items_wrap, along with other parameters, they are also ignored. I've been able to get after_link and before_link to work, as well as depth.

I've tried escaping things and not passing HTML, but neither helps.

I'm building based on the Sandbox theme, but nav-menu-template.php and nav-menu.php appear unchanged from the WP core.

How can I get these custom parameters to work?

The reason for your not being able to use before and after is because when you're calling wp_nav_menu() with a default fallback of wp_page_menu(), which does not have a before and after arguments.

Refer to line 171: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.2.1/wp-includes/nav-menu-template.php#L137

Apparently the menu you are trying to get does not exist (has no items) the !$menu is true. Make sure you have created a menu in Appearance > Menus and set it to a default one, or query for an existing one, or customize the fallback function, otherwise wp_page_menu will be called, simply listing all the pages.
