The issue is basically this:
(truncate-string-to-width "Buffer" 5 nil nil t)
=> "Buff…"
Or... Uhm... Oh! I've never noticed that the mode lets column overlap:
;; Truncate labels if necessary (except last column).
;; Don't truncate to `width' if the next column is align-right
;; and has some space left, truncate to `available-space' instead.
(when (and not-last-col
(> label-width available-space))
(setq label (truncate-string-to-width
label available-space nil nil t t)
label-width available-space))

So we allow column data to extend into the next column (if the next
column is right-aligned). But we don't do the same computation in the
header? Right.
Now fixed in Emacs 28.
