Description
Shortcodes are currently left as text in automatically generated excerpts.
As most users won't want the content of these shortcodes put in, such as in the case where it embeds a video, they should be stripped from the content in the same way that HTML tags are, most likely through a regex.

in many ways this is by design. there were bugs around when they weren't stripped.

I believe this got fixed somewhere along the way.
Possibly a dup of #7100, fixed in r8054?
Valid shortcodes are currently fully stripped from automatically generated excerpts. This is the case for singular shortcodes (i.e. [tester] or [tester/]) and opening/closing shortcodes (i.e. [tester]This may contain shortcode-related text that is gibberish if the shortcode replacement does not occur[/tester]). In all these cases, the shortcode itself (including closing shortcode), attributes, and wrapped text, are stripped.
Punting due to time constraints, will reconsider for upcoming release cycle.
