the_excerpt() is used to generate the text for RSS feeds and such. So if
you want to look for breakages, start with a feed reader. I don't think
it will like the embedded HTML that you're feeding it.

Better to change your template to call the_excerpt() rather than
the_content() on archive pages. It's probably in archive.php. That's
what I've done. That's the way the default template is.
