I killed a lot of time with this exact issue a couple months ago as well. Quite frustrating, and it was even worse trying to include the preemptible GPUs in a kubernetes cluster. It would often take so long to add the GPU to the cluster that it would get killed before it even ran any real workload. This cycle would repeat for an hour before a machine stayed up long enough to actually schedule kubernetes pods on them.

It would be nice of GCP didn't bill for pre-emptible instances that got system killed within 10 minutes of starting; or something reasonable like that. I doubt it makes a material difference to their (or our) bottom line, but it's just a nice gesture and makes you never feel like "damn, I literally wasted money".
