I think the main issue is that tikz throws an error when $ is redefined:

    Package tikz Error: Sorry, some package has redefined the meaning of
    the math-mode dollar sign. This is incompatible with tikz and its
    calc library and might cause unrecoverable errors.

Consider this example with renders fine with preview:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[displaymath,floats,graphics,footnotes,
textmath  %% Don't touch $ %%
]{preview}

\begin{document}

Text $D_1 \setminus V_1$
\[
  D_1 \setminus V_1 \quad \mbox{Text with $D_1 \setminus V_1$}
\]

\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

preview can handle $ constructs in environments.

I'm not familiar with tikz, maybe it has an option to be more forgiving
when $ is redefined?

Best, Arash
