What purpose do they > serve? \about does not support \about{...}[...] kind of references like \in or \at. Does some documentation say that this is supported? This is what core-ref.tex says \definecommand about {\dospecialabout} ... \unexpanded\def\dospecialabout[#1]% {...} This explains the error message that you get when you try \about{foo}[aa]. What do you want to achieve with \about{foo}[aa]? There may be some other way to do that.
