I guess that AUCTeX tries to take care of the case that
--disable-preview option is given to configure script. In that case, the
current installation scheme doesn't generate preview-latex.el IIUC.

How about specifying preview.el as EXCLUDED-FILES argument when
--disable-preview is given?

That seems a tough task :-(
