[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.87.2012-12-04; preview not working when using tikz/pgf3.0

[Hans van den Bogert]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting
a bug report.  In addition check if the bug is reproducable with an
up-to-date version of AUCTeX.  So please upgrade to the version
available from http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ if your
installation is older than the one available from the web site.

If the bug is triggered by a specific (La)TeX file, you should try
to produce a minimal sample file showing the problem and include it
in your report.

Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reproduction succeeded on:
* Mac OSX, using emacs-app 24.3, pgf 3.0.0 from macports
* Ubuntu 13.10 using emacs 24.3 (official ubuntu repo), pgf 3.0.0 from tar ball

Steps to reproduce 
1. Take a tex file which uses package tikz 
2. load it into emacs.app which has auctex and latex-preview enabled. 
3. preview the document: C-c C-p C-d

expected: previews for the sections and other environments

got: no previews, instead we got "stop-signs"

example tex:

— begin-latex-code-snippet --

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[british]{babel}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}

\begin{titlepage}
foo
\end{titlepage}
\chapter{}

\end{document}

— end-latex-code-snippet --
