I guess that's the best bet.  preview-latex has special code to deal
with 8-bit engines putting line breaks in the middle of multibyte
characters or ^^-quoting only some of them.

It would likely be possible to teach it to also deal with the
XeTeX-specific current situation, but it would likely end up being a
nightmare to maintain.
