Comment (by BenSibley):

 It stinks to work really hard on a plugin and then have some preview show
 up that makes it look totally broken when it's not.

 This feature is a neat idea, but it needs a lot more work. We've gone
 decades without live previews; why was there suddenly a rush to launch
 this today when it's demonstrably unreliable?

 As others have stated, this should be rolled back immediately and switched
 to an opt-in feature. Once it's rolled back, work on giving plugin devs
 information about how the preview works so we can decide if it's right for
 us or not. There is no rush to release this without proper communication
 and testing!
