Fix missed case of theory preprocessing (#5531)

This fixes a rare case of theory preprocessing where rewriting a quantified formula would introduce a term that would not be preprocessed. This led to solution unsoundness on a branch where the relationship between expand definitions and preprocessing is modified.

This is required for updating to the new policy for expand definitions.
