I was just thinking to immigrate to the new code using DELAYBIND, and
announce the user to install patched gs-9.27 if in hurry.  But it might
be a good idea to introduce a new user option to choose between
(1) No color transfer, "black on white" appearance
(2) New code
for the case preview-latex uses PDF backend.  Both have own
disadvantage, but at least they can avoid errors with customized
foreground color of emacs.
