Yes, I know.  Unfortunately, my TeX/PostScript knowledge is far too
limited to do anything about it.

Find someone with the right skills who knows how to fix the issue.  At
least this issue has the benefit of being easy to reproduce, e.g., this
MWD will do.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
\(a\)

\lipsum{}

B \(b\).  C \(c\).  D \(d\).
\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

> At least a workaround?

No, sorry I don't know any workaround except for commenting out the
\usepackage{tikz} when generating previews. :-(

Bye,
Tassilo
