The ReleaseNotes.html documentation for $DICT_TRUNCATE_FLAG indicates that the trucation bit is at position 6:

A new setting $DICT_TRUNCATE_FLAG has been added. If this is set to 1, then bit 6 of the dictionary word flag is set for any word whose source code definition is truncated to fit in the dictionary. In --trace dict listings, this is shown as "tr" when the flag is set. Without this option, bit 6 of the dictionary word flag is set for all verbs (which is the old behavior, redundant with bit 1).

I assume that in this case there is redundancy with bit 0, which is the verb bit, and not with bit 1 which is the meta bit.
