Comment (by abcd95):

 I think we should have a single excerpt_allowed_tags filter inside
 wp_trim_excerpt(), defaulting to `''` (strip everything — identical to
 current behaviour). When non-empty, bypass wp_trim_words(), strip only
 disallowed tags, find the word-boundary cut point on a plain-text copy,
 then run force_balance_tags() before appending the more string.

 I am working on this fix and testing some changes; the PR should be up
 shortly.
