I've just removed some in a flat that I'm refurbishing. The tiles came

I was pleasantly surprised to find it left an almost perfect surface
that could be painted over without skimming first. Without the soaking
it's like stabbing at rock. Hope it works.

Sounds like they were fixed with a water soluble glue. You were very
lucky. ;-)
