Comment(by azaozz):

 Considering that strip_tags is run after wpautop() and the other filters
 on `'the_content'`, the pseudo-excerpt will always be one line text. If we
 want to avoid normalizing white space for the whole post, perhaps can use
 preg_split:
 {{{
 $words = preg_split('/\s+/', $text, $excerpt_length + 1,
 PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
 }}}
