Comment (by rosyteddy):

 @DJPaul — Thanks a lot.
 In the meanwhile I was observing that

 short codes which are so wildly popular in wordpress can show up in
 unexpected ways in BP Activity Stream excerpts, for example Siteorigin-
 panels [siteorigin-panels.2.0.7 plugin] and some others can make the
 excerpts unusually long or broken.

 ----

 images attached in comments and showing that as non-obtrusive thumbnails
 in BP Activity Stream is done nicely by Imaths's bpcheckin plugin but
 limited to only that plugin.

 ----

 BP misses live updates to blogs by plugins like Live blog

 ----

 My suggestions :
 Maybe, BP should detect stuffs like shortcode and stuffs like siteorigin-
 panels and do not show any excerpt at all for such posts
 Adoption of comment thumbnails (in comment excerpts) from that plugin
