Is it really mosaic preview? Do you get plain-colored squares, that then get
replaced with smaller squares, until you get 1px squares making up the
final image?

If the image is rendering in little blocks instead of line-by-line top-down,
that's expected. It's not mosaic preview. It's how the multithreading
feature of POV-Ray 3.7 works. The image is divided into tiles, and each
thread is assigned a tile to render. When the thread finishes rendering a
tile, it starts with another.
