   The new [gallery] support in WordPress 2.9 is actually incompatible with Advanced Excerpt because it adds <style> tags inline into the post content. The problem is, Advanced Excerpt by default strips <style> tags, so one is left with the contents of the <style> tag (CSS) as plain text.

   Ticket #10734 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10734 mentions this.

   A partial workaround is to modify wp-includes/kses.php and add 'style' to the list, then check it in Advanced Excerpt's configuration, so that it doesn't strip the <style> tags.

   Another workaround is to use the plugin mentioned earlier in the ticket: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gallery-shortcode-style-to-head/.

   I am quite shocked, frankly, that the gallery does something this irresponsible. Entirely not Advanced Excerpt's fault.

   This can be considered semi-fixed, pending the final changes to the gallery.

   The upcoming version of Advanced Excerpt will strip shortcodes, removing both the gallery and the problem from the equation.

   I don't know if it's the best approach - consider posts that only have something within a shortcode (such as the gallery). You could potentially end up showing nothing or missing a large chunk of content.
