It's almost definitely that you've got remote preview generation enabled 
with the setting:

Generate preview image remotely
If you have a very slow frontend you can enable this to always have a 
backend server generate preview images.

or you don't have mythbackend installed on your frontend system, so it's 
asking the backend system to do the preview generation.

BTW, is this trunk?  (It's always a good idea to say what branch and 
revision you're running when asking about behaviors/issues.)
