(Get the code!)
The preview image is handled by Gdk pixbuf with libwmf as
renderer. Libwmf parses the file and builds up a pixelized
image by executing Wmf commands.
The translation from Wmf to Svg is also handled by libwmf,
but this time Wmf commands are translated into similar Svg
commands. Inkscape will read the Svg file and render it.
While you use the same parser in both cases you must not
forget that you use two different back-ends; one that
operates on pixels and one that operates on vector objects.
There might be bugs or short-commings in one back-end that
don't exist in the other.
