I think I might have a solution - The files causing this "HTML/cannot be previewed" error are likely ".docx" files. You can tell by a blue box next to the document name when you open it in Google Docs.
To fix this:
Go to the document, hit "File" then "Save as Google Doc". This new document, when uploaded, will not give the "HTML/Cannot be previewed error" in the Speedgrader.
(Side note: This does create a new file, so make sure to update the links your students use!)
