 Hm preview is part of the auctex 11.8x series not of the 11.5x.
 As I understand things auctex-11.84 did not make into sumo but stays in
 pre-release. Did that change, when? 
I don't know.  What I'm trying to build is from XEmacs CVS, clean export of 
the whole "packages" tree using the tag "sumo-2009-02-17".  
xemacs-packages/auctex/Makefile has "AUTHOR_VERSION = 11.84".

 When Mats and I tried the "convert" 11.84 into a xemacs pkg I remember
 something similar.
 could it be that your texinfo is a little outdated? 
As noted above, the texinfo I'm using is 4.11.  But based on other discussion 
in this thread I suppose that's not the issue.
