I see the same. I guess it's difficult to expect it to work there, since
it requires a \newcommand that is defined in a previous paragraph. I
thought I could be sneaky and fix it by wrapping the \newcommand TeX box
in a preview inset, but that didn't work. Even the following gives an
undefined error since I guess the scope of the \newcommand is local to
the preview environment (?):
\begin{preview}
\newcommand{\question}[1]{#1}
\newcommand{\answer}[1]{}
\end{preview}
\begin{preview}
\[
x^{2}-2x-2\Rightarrow\question{x_{1}}\answer{x_{2}}=1\question{+\sqrt{3}}\answer{-\sqrt{3}}.
\]
\end{preview}
That would have been a hackish patch anyway.
