this is a normal behavior!! 
, I tested it with standard material and it does the same!!!!
edit: this is a CONFIRMED bug, when I render, it renders correctly "OpenGL got a problem here" , it renders correct because it uses UVs , not spherical projection "like OpenGL"

@Sebastian.
There seems to be a problem in your example.
When you choose to use a shader. And you load an image into the shader. The preview icon is white.
This only happens with the sphere preview option.
I just ran into this same problem when writing my own R13 material plugin.
And I discovered that if I Shift+LMB on the sphere in preview window and rotate it 180 degrees in X. The image shows up properly.
So I guess we need a way to either show both sides of the sphere. Or some way to see the other side of the sphere in the material's preview window?

OK. Thanks for the update.
At least I know now that it's not something I'm doing wrong.

Hello,
in the standards preview scene the Texture Tag tiles the U coordinate. This way coordinates bigger than 1 are created. So a material must handle such coordinates. To make sure a shader will handle this properly the texture flags in the ChannelData object have to be set. This can be done using CALC_TEXINFO:
ChannelData channelData(vd);
channelData.texflag = CALC_TEXINFO(((TexData* )vd->tex)->texflag, CHANNEL_ANY);
resultColor = _renderParamShader->Sample(&channelData);
For further questions on materials please open a new thread. Thanks.
Best wishes,
Sebastian
