Comment:

 Traced it back to wp_trim_excerpt() which fakes a except if need be.

 is one solution, yet slightly ugly.

 is another, However, chances breaking HTML tags if it breaks half way
 through a html tag with attributes. The balance tags is there incase it
 breaks on '<b> 55th-word[...]'

 strip_tags() could be run before it trims the word count, that'd help the
 chances of breaking html.

 Also, Shouldn't the_except work with <!--more--> if it exists in the post?
