BTW, all this does not indicate a failure in the TeX preview. Quite to the contrary, it shows that the TeX preview is working perfectly. The main purpose of it is to preview the generated TeX and check whether the bibtex is correct to be used for TeX. So if it fails, it indeed shows that the bibtex is not suited for TeX and therefore the preview performs it's task of warning you about that.
