Yes.  However, a thread starting with a bug report generated from `M-x
preview-report-bug RET' which would end up in bug-auctex at gnu.org
would be even better than the general mailing list. (c;

Hm, does a normal LaTeX run (started e.g. with `C-c C-c') exhibit the
problem as well?

What do you expect?  It's Windows. (c;

Anyway, I don't know anything about how exactly Emacs interacts with
Windows and don't intend to look into that if I don't have to.  We
might be able to find the problem by looking at the differences
between the invocation of latex in AUCTeX and preview-latex (in case
the former is working).
