So what steps did you take to add those sites to your speed dial screen?
There are 2 options, and I could see how one of those might not work all the time. First (my favorite): once you're on a site you like you can click the heart icon (at the end of the address bar) which will add the site to your bookmarks. By clicking the icon again it'll open up a control screen where you can change the icon you want to use, and also the folder in which the bookmark is saved. All you have to do is set it to 'Speeddial' and it should show up.
The other option is to use the 'Add' option in the speed dial itself. However, I could see how that could lead to weird results, also because you're not setting a preview at the same time.
Hope this can help a bit.
