Only time I've PVA'd a wall before tiling is if it is lime plaster
and in poor condition - to give it some more strength. I'd say the
most absorbent wall would be bare plasterboard - and not had any
problems tiling direct to that using a decent ready mix.

I get a surprising amount of 'a few of my tiles have fallen off' jobs.

Probably through using a cheap/unsuitable adhesive. I had that when using
a Wicks one.
