This is expected.

dvipng previews expect .dvi files, not .pdf. You must use

("latexmk  -f -latex -output-directory=%o %f")

Except that latex does not produce the desired result, which indicates
that you are using some very strange package that is not compatible with
latex.

I can only suggest using "imagemagick" process to use pdf -> png
conversion, but truly that should be a bug in the latex package.
