 == Setup ==

 Register a post type that doesn't support anything but titles with
 `show_ui` set to `true`, then view the listing of all posts of that post
 type in the backend.

 == Expected Behavior ==

 There should not be an option to show the excerpt overview, since no
 excerpts can exists, as content is not supported.

 == Actual Behavior ==

 Excerpt mode is available.  Enabling it does not do anything, potentially
 creating confusion for the end user.
