What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install and enable ChromeVox extension
2. Create html page with the following code example:
    <label id="expLabel" for="expire">Expiration date:</label>
    <span>
        <input type="text" name="expire" id="expire" aria-describedby="expDesc">
        <span id="expDesc">MM/YYYY</span>
    </span>
3. Use Chromevox to read the MM/YYYY aria description

What is the expected result?
Chromevox would read "MM/YYYY"

What happens instead of that?
Chrome does NOT read "MM/YYY" until the <span> around the parent element is removed. If you use the following code example, it works fine:

    <label id="expLabel" for="expire">Expiration date:</label>
    <input type="text" name="expire" id="expire" aria-describedby="expDesc">
    <span id="expDesc">MM/YYYY</span>

Neither Apple VoiceOver or NVDA have this issue.
