Initially I was able to reproduce this (also on other sites) but when I tried with a new profile and in safe-mode not anymore. When I tested in normal mode again the bug was gone so it is not clear yet what factors are playing a part.

OK, I see it again, this time with a new profile. 
For some reason the problem sounds familiar to me now. Might be not specific to the Tabs Preview. I believe there was also a similar case with the Edit Bookmark pop-up.

Yeah, this is likely a duplicate of bug 415791. If bug 415791 doesn't fix it, you can always reopen.
