It looks like beamer.cls does this itself:

I think the incompatibility already exists in this release. I'm using
the same version of TeX Live and when I load hyperref in circ.tex (the
preview-latex showcase), preview-latex complains that it found no
previews. At least when it is run on the document. Running it at point
oddly seems to work.
