This is truly weird. I can confirm that the (generated) source html and css files that are used to generate the preview are properly updated. But the generated attributed string does not reflect the change in the .css file, even if it's generated from the changed files. It must be something in the web engine used by the system that's caching something. Certainly a system bug, not much chance we can fix this.
