Ah, I see. Thank you. Looking into the log, I see there is indeed an error:
! Package inputenc Error: inputenc is not designed for xetex or luatex. (inputenc) only UTF-8 supported. So presumably it is a bug in the preview mechanism - it should not try to include "inputenc" if xetex/luatex are used, right?
