I've heard the anecdotal story of Shoghi Effendi saying something to that effect, (8 instead of 9), but he has also stated that the 8 pointed stars are indeed intentional, and are referencing a verse in the Qur'an ("On that Day Eight shall bear the throne of The Lord"). I'll find the source for Shoghi Effendi's statement for you when I'm not on my phone!
