Comment (by summoner):

 I noticed it first on a site that is right under development. Before
 upgrading to WP 3.9 the excerpt was working fine that is for sure. This
 site is a self-hosted one, runs with a child-theme of twenty-fourteen with
 several plug-ins.

 When i noticed that the full posts are shown i just thought it is only a
 usual conflict and turned off all the plug-ins. Problem persisted. Then i
 changed to a non-default theme. Surprisingly enough the excerpt was
 functioning then.

 Since then i tried it on 3 more independent self-hosted installations (one
 of them is WP 4.0 alpha). Same behaviour. Have tried it with about a dozen
 non-default themes and with them the ebxcerpt is fine. On the other hand
 if i activate ''any'' default theme then the excerpt will fails to show
 up.

 Recently i noticed that on search result pages the excerpt will be shown
 even with the default themes, but not on archieve or home pages...

 Some minutes before i made a clean and new installation of WP 3.9 with a
 clean database. So nothing was ever modified and the problem is the same.
