[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.86; preview confused by beamer+xelatex

[Giacomo Boffi]

Emacs  : XEmacs 21.5  (beta29) "garbanzo" f5a5501814f5 [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux, 
Mule) of Tue Feb 22 2011 on aiuole
Package: 11.86 (preview.el was patched against gs new features)

i expect that running C-c C-p C-d on my test file make preview-latex

  1e. use xelatex to produce a pdf file
  2e. use pdf2dsc to produce a postscript file
  3e. etc

what preview-latex does is

  1. use xelatex to produce a pdf file
  2. use dvips to produce a ps file
  3. stop in error as no dvi is in the offing

in attachment a tar.gz containing the test file, the included image
and the pdf file produced by xelatex when driven by preview-latex
