It doesn't fail here.  That's just a warning.  Maybe the installation
of your TeX system is broken.  I'd check that with a minimal example
file and a regular LaTeX run, not preview-latex.

Here is the error.

Since you omitted a description of what you were doing to produce the
error, I had to experiment in order to reproduce it.  The only way I
could see it was to run `preview-region' on a part of the preamble
(which the "!offset(-17)" message indicates).

How do you expect a part of the preamble to be previewed?
