All you need to do is keep the leveling compound from moving around
after filling. Seems logical to take a chance on roughing up the old
tile to give the compound a surface to grab onto. Might want to
investigate other brands of leveling compounds with attributes more
compatible with vinyl. A flooring store might be one place to try.
You've got a tough problem, so good luck.
