It is a bug, it's an error of logic in the excerpt.py filter.

The old node would usually be removed by this line:

if source[0].nodeName == excerpt.nodeName:
    source[0].parentNode.removeChild(source[0])

However, the problem with this solution is that in the case of the feed
I am looking at, source[0].nameName is actually 'summary', because the
feed provides its own summary. excerpt.nodeName is 'content'.

I've provided alternative logic at:
