[TYPO3-ttnews] crop and [more]

How about simply adding the link to the template ;) Ok, then it would appear in any case, but would fulfill more of your wishes then currently.

Or you could try this (untested - but take it as an opinion):
----------------------------------
subheader_stdWrap {
	crop = 270 |&nbsp;... | 1
	append = TEXT
	append {
		current = 1
		split {
			max = 2
			token = &nbsp;...
			cObjNum = 1||2
			// either cropped or not cropped - append link if bodytext is true
			1 = TEXT
			1 {
				value = <span class=morelink> {register:newsMoreLink}</span>
				if.isTrue.field = bodytext
			}
			// subheader is cropped - only append if bodytext is false as the bodytext is checked in 1
			2 < .1
			2.if.isFalse.field = bodytext
		}
	}
	insertData = 1
}
----------------------------------

Maybe that works :) If not, try to append some value to the corp call after the split token:
crop = 270 | &nbsp;... <!--dummy--> | 1
