Comment (by westonruter):

 @azaozz Actually I'm seeing oEmbed previews work, but only when the
 `embed` shortcode is used. The thing I'm not seeing is the URL expansion
 to embeds.

 Nevertheless, I am seeing an issue with the embed shortcode previews.

 If I try pasting `[embed]https://youtu.be/KU_Jdts5rL0[/embed]` into the
 Visual tab of the Text widget, I get an error inside of `mce-view.js`. See
 [attachment:error-upon-pasting-embed-shortcode.png].

 Otherwise, if I try pasting the same `embed` into the Text tab and then
 switch to Visual, I get a different error in `editor.js` via the
 `scrollVisualModeToStartElement`. See [attachment:error-upon-switch-to-
 visual-tab-containing-embed.png].
