This seems to be the problem: you somehow set the (buffer local) binding
to 8 - before the style stuff is applied.  But AFAIU the style binding
is only applied when it finds a value of 'set-from-style.  You should
find out where the binding to 8 comes from (maybe a file local variable
binding?)

I don't use it, but yes, it seems to exist only as a global mode.
