I managed to get this working by editing the file located (within plugin) at:

modules/meta/meta-descriptions.php

find line: 111 which reads:

array( $auto_excerpt, strip_tags($post->post_excerpt))

within the code:

$desc = str_replace(
array('{excerpt::autogen}', '{excerpt}'),
array(strip_tags($post->post_excerpt), $auto_excerpt),
$format);

and swap the order of the second arguments so line 111 reads:

array(strip_tags($post->post_excerpt), $auto_excerpt)

that should work
