It seems that this is the same as bug#56889[1]. I suppose it originates
from the nature of pdflatex and ghostscript, and preview-latex can do
little with respect to this phenomenon.

As I wrote in the thread of bug#56889, one of the following workarounds
works, but only in very awkward way... :-(
(1) Turn off PDF mode by C-c C-t C-p and set `preview-image-type' to
    `dvipng'.
(2) Set `preview-pdf-color-adjust-method' to nil.
