Have you read the explanation about positive and negative WIDTHs above?

This seems to work for me:
(setq-default mode-line-buffer-identification
(list -8 (propertized-buffer-identification "%b")))
-8 specifies truncation to 8 characters. And we don’t need to pad if
we’re going to truncate anyway.
(8 is way too small for a buffer name though.)
