I was able to reproduce this bug. See my comments on the tex.sx
question. I reproduce these comments below.

    I also just reproduced this independently. I am on Debian
    wheezy. With default versions of Tex Live (2012) and PGF/TikZ
    (2.10) on wheezy, this is not reproducible. However, with Tex Live
    2013 (backported to wheezy) which includes PGF 3.0, this problem
    is reproducible. The problem may be PGF 3.0. I could try testing
    for this. Ghostscript is 9.05 for both, and I doubt it is
    implicated in this. If others can reproduce, I suggest adding your
    config information here

    Also, for the record, the poster wrote "However, if I remove one
    of \usepackage{tikz}, \title{a} or \maketitle it works ?!"
    However, I don't think this is the case. It looks like there some
    kind of off-by-one error (possibly triggered by PGF). This looks
    as follows. One place where a preview should be is missing. That
    preview appears in the next "slot". Henceforth it looks like each
    preview snippet is one ahead of where it should be, and in my
    file, commenting out either \title or \maketitle doesn't change
    that. (Of course, if you comment out \title you also need to
    comment out \maketitle or you get an error.) Of course, my file is
    rather longer than the minimal example given."

I'd like to post this to a AucTeX bug tracker, but there doesn't seem
to be one. Suggestion: can debbugs.gnu.org be enabled as an AUCTeX bug
tracker?

Does anyone want me to post an additional formal bug report?
