Just a quick follow-up: My memory was wrong -- I'm actually seeing the preview pane applying alternate view templates correctly in nearly all cases. The exceptions all turned out to involve cascade-conditions that referenced things like how the title begins (which are of course disrupted by "Draft of..." prefix).
So, I'm baffled as to why the template specified in your ViewTemplate cascade is not working properly in the preview pane while editing.
