One solution is to not use text-properties, e.g.
(setq mode-line-format
'(...
(:control-width mode-line-buffer-identification
:min-width 10 :max-width 30)
...
(:control-width mode-line-position
:min-width 10
:align 'center)
...))
The downside is that this will only work for <foo>-line-format, whereas
this kind of functionality would also be handy within buffer text for
tabular modes like `proced`.
