Saw this too.
Looks to me like the dock doesn't like whitespaces in the launchpath.
Possibly

Dock/src/applicationmodel.cpp

Line 125 in 95fe223

QStringList args = item->exec.split(" ");

Launch args being split on whitespaces so the pragram it tries to launch is actually just "Developer" and "Preview/XX" becomes the first arg
Just courious: does this even need to have launch args? it's just a dock that just supposed to launch stuff on click.

Luckily, it seems to get pinned correctly in the Dock's dock_pinned.conf file:

[disk-first-aid.py]
DesktopPath=
Exec=/Applications/Developer Preview/Disk First Aid.app/Disk First Aid
IconName=file:///Applications/Developer Preview/Disk First Aid.app/Resources/Disk First Aid.png
Index=6
visibleName=Disk First Aid
