I would not advocate completing with K8 off from the SB with 12 BBs to start the hand.  There could be times where this would fall into the somewhat okay bucket and that would be where you know button is open limping any two cards since thats how they play and BB will rarely raise but just click the call button behind a vast vast majority of the time.  Coincidentally that may be the exact situation we have here but I without being 100% sure that it is in fact what is going on if you were in this hand I dont think its good to just complete with K8 off such a short stack.  The better play would be to Jam if you really think button is limping any two cards and BB will not put up any kind of fight unless they really have the high end of the spectrum.  Otherwise I just fold K8 even getting such a good price since we are so shallow and BB is still to act behind.

The one counter I'll make to my own thinking is if you believed that you would see a flop here and if even you missed then you would be at 11.5 BBs instead of 12 BBs which is does not make any significant difference for your stack as you are still in shove mode and you just want to see if you connect with the flop.  I can see that point of view but its still better to jam or fold over a wide button limper here in my opinion.
