Inserting a text in the middle of the text underlying a preview-latex
image is not a mistake but the intended mode of operation. I think you
are fundamentally misunderstanding what preview-latex is. It is a
previewing mode that previews selected elements (like math) of
typesetting a LaTeX document right in the source code so that you do not
need to keep switching your focus between source code and preview window
when proofreading/deriving your math.
The whole point is to work with an editable source and have the images
as a transient view. In order to make movement unsurprising, only some
movement commands (like cursor left/right) will actually disable the
move-out-of-images-in-the-main-loop behavior of Emacs in order to "open"
images and display the source: most commands will avoid the inside of
images in the way Emacs usually does. But that does not extend to any
_modifying_ commands or to isearch. And of course not to macro
execution.
