Comment:

 I can confirm that this does not work.

 I had a short discussion with @swissspidy about this:

 It is expected behavior. To solve it, the new page template would have to
 be passed as a query parameter to the preview or be saved as a post meta
 revision. Ticket #12922 is related to this: same problem, just with post
 thumbnails. A solution could be the framework for storing revisions of
 post meta found in #20564.
