AUCTeX Preview LaTeX didn't work with Org last time I tried, but I'm
not sure whether you're referring to this or Org's preview
capabilities (which lack a bit behind AUCTeX's).

Do try to cut it to a minimum example and use less exotic packages.  I
don't want to install new packages for the sake of trying your
example.

In any case, it's probably a conflict of packages (some functions may
be defined twice).  On my system the files used to generate images are
stored in the root of /tmp (on a GNU/Linux system).

Also, check out the variable org-format-latex-header.

Also, on previewing in general: Do you use org entities?  They make
stuff like this pretty readable.  If you need more readability you can
even create math matrices with Org-tables.

Hope it helps,
Rasmus
