I can only state an observation, not a resolution. Sorry for that.

There are a pair of
> ./bug_minimal.tex:13: Preview: Snippet 1 started.
and
> ./bug_minimal.tex:15: Preview: Snippet 1 ended.(582542+0x22609920).
whereas Snippet 2 has only

in the given log.

It seems that the mechanism of preview-latex conflicts with caption.sty
and float.sty. Although preview-latex has some work arounds for
conflicts with other packages, I guess they simply don't work when both
caption.sty and float.sty are present.
