I don't even come as far as having supp-pdf.tex being displayed since
error parsing cannot handle a quoted file name with spaces. )c:

The output buffer contains stuff like

tex"))) (tikz-test.aux) ("C:\Programme\MiKTeX 2.5\tex\context\base\supp-pdf.tex
"
[Loading MPS to PDF converter (version 2006.09.02).]
) [1{psfonts.map}]
! Misplaced alignment tab character &.
l.15 *&
       ^*
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text> 
                $

and when parsing the file name after the second opening paren it stops
after "MiKTeX".  That means something like "\"C:\\Programme\\MiKTeX"
is pushed onto `TeX-error-file'.  That means the file in question will
be found as "MiKTeX" and the directory part will be ""C:\Programme".
Ouch.

The error parsing routine of preview-latex fails in the same way.
