I'd be happy to take a quick look at this if I could see the patch in
question.  (I've been using indirect buffers with my local copy of
preview-latex for years.  The key point, if I recall correctly, was to
trick "preview-region" into thinking it's being called in "non-file"
mode, so that "<none>" gets passed along to preview-parse-messages and
hence the previews are placed (correctly) in the command buffer rather
than (incorrectly, as you've observed here) in the buffer with the
same name as the master file.)
