I should start taking pictures at work. Some of the hacks I work with....smh....We tiled straight over 6 control joints and one 20 foot cold joint in a brand new shopping mall today. 18x18 porcelain on a concrete slab with a 1/4 x 3/8 square notched trowel and not one tile was backbuttered....These are qualified journeymen people.........

Of course, but I haven't been tiling long enough (3 years) for my opinion to matter! The supervisor on site (doesn't know a thing about tile) said he didn't want "wonky" grout joints cutting through the tiles.....And the numbskulls I work with said to tile over them...

edit...He (the site-super) should know those are these for expansion and contraction and to control where the cracking happens in the floor....Obviously if you are permanently bonding cement on top of the slab with an extremely dense flooring product on top of that, it's only a matter of time before everything above the cracks crack as well....I'm almost hoping to go in Thursday (when we grout) and they are all cracked just to say "told ya so....". Anyway, when stuff like that happens I just do what I do and set the tiles the way I set them....burn coat, notch, back-butter the tile, set the tile, check for lippage....I wet the floor slightly with a sponge as well before the burn coat.....sorry no pics, guess none of this ever happened LOL! Continue on....

Hah, no way, never use crack isolation membranes.....In this case I don't think that would help much the joints are approximately 3/8" wide. Even at that, I doubt they would know how to install that properly (roll/paint on the diagonal width of tile being used) Umm, just tiled right over with Versabond Flex....
