Update for anyone who cares.
When they remodeled in 2001 they used small steel old work boxes, the kind with the steel straps that you bend over. All of the box extenders I've been able to locate are for boxes that are 1/4 inch taller than these. I can modify them I guess, but the extenders are $1.44 each and new deep plastic boxes are $1.89. Guess I'm going to replace all the boxes. The new boxes have screws long enough for 1/2" drywall and I'll have drywall plus the thickness of the tile, so new, longer screws will be needed. Amazing how a seemingly simple job can cascade into such a time and money suck.
