In my case, executing `C-c C-p C-d' with the file opened in Emacs will
just yield "LaTeX found no preview images".  So the example does not
work here.  Perhaps you have some additional customizations.

Anyway, regarding the `dvips' option, the following text taken from the
preview-latex manual might explain some things:

,----[ (info "(preview-latex)Package options") ]
| `dvips'
|      If this option is specified as a class option or to other
|      packages, several packages pass things like page size information
|      to Dvips, or cause crop marks or draft messages written on pages.
|      This seriously hampers the usability of previews.  If this option
|      is specified, the changes will be undone if possible.
