Two problems: 
1. the \Tree was not in math-text mode, but in math-math mode (mark the whole 
command and hit C-m again).
2. a missing blank. You had  \Tree[.abc] instead of \Tree[.abc ] (or rather 
\Tree[.a b c ]). That's because probably blanks are suppressed. in math-math 
mode.

Obviously the wrong \tree syntax breaks the whole previewing process. I 
remember this is a known issue.

Corrected file attached. Works for me.

It's needed if preview is done by means of dvipng (which is default as of 
1.4.0). Otherwise some lines are missing (also in the pdflatex output). It's 
spelled "noeepic" btw.
Strange enough, however, this does not work with your example.

I see. This is probably because the previews are not loaded in the background. 
I think this is a regression.
