Comment:

 The issue can be traced back to using `get_the_content()` in
 `wp_trim_excerpt()` which cuts off at `<!--more-->` regardless of the
 caller function and doesn't have a more text provided for it.

 Following patch splices in a minimal version of `the_content()` rather
 than trying to bend the existing code or use a hacky workaround such as
 `$more = 1`

 Cut:

 * `<!--noteaser-->` checks which sets `$stripteaser`: isn't used unless
 `$more` is true

 * `if ( count($content) > 1 )`: only invokes `force_balance_tags()` since
 `$more` is false and `$more_link_text` is empty, which is unnecessary
 since we `strip_tags()`

 Not cut:

 * `post_password_required()` check, though it's overridden by
 `the_excerpt()`

 * `$preview` check: is this needed?
