Maybe you should bother to mention what you consider "indication
something went wrong indeed".  preview-latex produces error messages on
purpose.  That's the only way to get to the right column.

The problem here is that the character in the error message appears to
be a different character from what is in the source file, so
preview-latex isn't able to correlate it with the source.
