So it simply doesn't fit, showing date and time. I assume it does work well if you switch off showing the date? The clock now tries to show the date (which is what you tell it to do) and respecting the smallest readable font size setting (from System Settings | Appearance | Fonts | Small). 

I can imagine the following:

 1) Silently remove the date when it doesn't fit anyway
 2) Ignore smallest readable font setting
 3) Take more horizontal space and show the date next to the time (in vertical panels, it would then just take more horizontal space.

I think I'd prefer 3), what do others think?
