Just a thought...it sounds like the except display function is detecting
some remnant of the excerpt or more likely that when a variable was set for
excerpt display that the variable doesn't get reset when you delete the
excerpt.
May I suggest to lock down where that is for the code junkies that you
create a new post, create an except and save to draft. Edit and remove the
excerpt then publish. If a blank excerpt box comes up then the variable
must not be getting reset in the posting functions. Darren just sent you
some code that may "fix" the problem" Looks like the code says if the
string length of the excerpt is 55 or less then don't display. Anyway,
hoped this helped.

Subject: [wp-testers] WordPress 3.0: problem with empty excerpts
beingreturned by the_excerpt()
I'm encountering a situation where the_excerpt somehow returns empty
excerpts for. I first encountered this in a custom post type where I had
an
excerpt but then emptied the excerpt field and updated the post.
Afterwards
the excerpt on index pages was empty. I tried replicating this with a
regular post and found the same behavior.
running:
echo has_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt');
returns '10' which shows that wp_trim_excerpt() is running, which is where
I
think WordPress creates custom excerpt if none is specified for the post.
I've tried disabling all plugins and setting Twenty Ten as the theme but
still get the same results.
The strange thing is that it works fine if no excerpt was ever saved with
the post. It will create and display as expected, if you save a post with
an
excerpt it will display that excerpt, but if you go back to the edit
screen,
delete everything from the excerpt field and save again it suddenly stops
working.
Am I missing something here, or is this maybe just happening to me?
Thanks for reading...
