I've seen tiles on a gypsum plaster no primer and they remained for many years, yes they should have been primed though...
I prime because of the high suction from plaster, the cement based adhesive losses the moisture to quick to allow it to cure probably.
Was informed from a bod from Mapei that ettringite is formed when moisture/damp is present.
I think suction is the be all
In a laymans term you are stopping the substrate from being so pourus by priming
Plaster,no primer,suck then pop de bonded
If it was a case of crystals then surely if you primed bonding plaster which is probably one of the most pourus substrates then you could tile it!
Me personally I would never tile bonding plaster if it had umpteen coats of primer
