WordPress 2.8 bleeding-edge and WordPress_Module::_weak_escape()
After upgrading to 2.8-beeding-edge I got the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method WordPress_Module::_weak_escape()

Please note the new feature that checks for a word count in a post works perfectly only on single post view (when the full article is displayed) and makes only an estimate when paginated archive or index page is being viewed. The reason for this is that your theme can alter the ‘typical’number of words that archive pages should display, which is everything above the <!--more--> tag.
