Could you use
M-x preview-report-bug RET
or the respective menu entry Preview/Report Bug for reporting bugs?
That would give more relevant information.

Not at all.  It suggests things working fine, at least the extract
that you show here.  Conceivable problems might occur with running
GhostScript, but your extract is too short to figure that out.

Stupid question: have you actually paged down in circ.tex?  The
previews don't appear in a separate window, they are placed right into
the source buffer.

And the first 1.5 pages of circ.tex or so do not contain any
previewable material.
