Hello,
Since the instructions say that bugs should be reported on the mailing
list, I do so here.
When visiting a file by tramp over ssh, doing latex preview fails.
* Version
Tag 9.4.6 (commit:652430128)
* To reproduce:
Create the following org file:
#+begin_example
* Testing formulas
\[\xi^2+\chi^2\]
#+end_example
and invoke =org-latex-preview=.
The result is that org-latex preview fails finding the temporary tex file
(which was saved on the remote server)
#+begin_example
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18 (TeX Live 2017) (preloaded
format=latex)
restricted \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `/tmp/orgtexq5rOVI.tex'.
<*> /tmp/orgtexq5rOVI.tex
(Press Enter to retry, or Control-D to exit)
Please type another input file name
! Emergency stop.
<*> /tmp/orgtexq5rOVI.tex
No pages of output.
Transcript written on /tmp//texput.log.
#+end_example
Regards,
Dov

Confirmed.
I just tried this by creating an Org file on a Debian server (I run OpenSUSE
with TexLive 2021). From looking at the `*Org Preview LaTeX Output*' buffer, it
appears that the temp file is created on my local machine, and then the process
is called on the remote machine.
┌────
│ This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.19 (TeX Live 2019/dev/Debian) (preloaded format=latex)
│ restricted \write18 enabled.

Having a look at `org-create-formula-image', I suspect this is due to the
`make-temp-name' call at
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/tree/lisp/org.el#n16521>.
Perhaps `tramp-make-tramp-temp-name' could be useful?
All the best,
Timothy

But will it be efficient? We will need to transfer images between the
remote host and the Emacs host.
Should we instead arrange the LaTeX call to be done on user side all the
time?
