Workaround
Never preview your page, just save it.
Discussion
Since this issue is related to data loss, it is to be considered "critical". It makes this version unsuitable for a stable release.
Use of the page preview function is very common, as it offers the possibility to correct typos, prolong the page locking, and so on. Thus users cannot sensibly create pages as long as this problem is not fixed.
