I think we're planning on taking that preference out back and shooting
it pretty soon, and changing the default to "Always render PNG". That
or killing and resurrecting math handling.
We started discussions along these lines in July:

At least some of the options will most likely be pared down, perhaps leaving
only "Always render PNG" and "Leave it as TeX" (primarily useful for
people
using mathjax add-ins). Best results would come from adding baseline
information to aid in positioning the PNGs, but don't know how hard that'll
be.
