The problem was located in the extractDescriptionFromBody function (line
312, MetaWeblogAPI.py) where the excerptExtractor regex needs a string
and the body provided seems not to be a regular string. So I converted
body to a string and wrapped the function in a try-except (you don't
need this, but I tried this before I did the body-to-string thing).

       body = str(body)
       try:
            excerpt = self.excerptExtractor.search(body)
        except Exception, e:
            self.plone_log("Cannot extract Excerpt: %s" % e)
            excerpt = None

As I said, it's just a quick hack, but it works (for me). The code
itself will not be of much value, but maybe there's something wrong with
how the body is fetched?
Performancing ist still working too!

Hope this helps!
