I think I see one thing which doesn't meet my criteria, the tile will
not be flush with the surface of the wall, it will stick out 1/2 plate
thickness. My solution leaves it flush with the surface of the wall.
I don't mind not having an interior to the container, which is good,
there is no good solution which is only 1 stud thick.
The 1x2 thinwall solution might be useable in other ways though, I'll
have to play with it. I had one partial solution which had 1/2 plate
thickness gaps above and below the tile (and the tile was flush with the
brick wall).
