Not a bug I confused it the first time but it has not "...at next eot" but at "...at eot".

You were right the first time. If the token is created during the end step, it's already after the beginning of that end step, so isn't sacrificed until the beginning of the next one.

Just to be sure the same should apply to creatures like Spark Elemental right?

Sparkspitter can't work with the same function like others work as it puts in play an elemental token named Spark Elemental and Spark Elemental and all other creatures like it if put into play at Manalink's end step are sacrificed at that end step and not next turns one.

Yes.

The real problem, of course, isn't with Spark Elemental and Ball Lightning and Biovisionary and so on; it's that the end step trigger's being sent at after the end of the discard phase (and after the end of the cleanup phase, for that matter) instead of the start of it.
