Why just say "in current buffer", when that can be unclear? There should be no problem with a long buffer name. what's important is to give some indication of which buffer is meant. If the name is too long for the echo area then either the message will wrap (no big deal) or it will be truncated (still identifying the buffer sufficiently in most cases - and *Messages* holds the full name). You can also drop the word "buffer". Just say "in `BUF'", where BUF is the buffer name.
