Comment(by dd32):

 This actually highlights a bug, Not in the shortcode system, but in the
 templating system.

 Shortcodes are not parsed in excerpt's, They're striped from them instead.

 Whats happening here, Is Twentyten treats archives as a the_excerpt(), and
 treats non-archives as the_content();, WordPress doesnt count the 2nd
 example as being an "archive" (is_archive() == true).

 Now, The reasoning why shortcodes are not in the except, Generally,
 Excepts are sub-50 words, You cant just throw a video HTML embed in one of
 those, nor can you expand many shortcodes to that length. Its designed to
 hold pure plain text.
