I have installed several laminates over tile. This does not in any way damage the tile but may cause some other small issues. Firstly, the doorjambs will have to be recut, so when you remove the laminate there will be a pretty sizable gap. Also if the room is a bathroom the perimeter of your laminate floor must be sealed with silicone, which will settle onto your tile and be a pain to remove later. Laminate will be very kind to your tile and if you don't mind the extra height, there's no reason not to use it.

Are you talking about a glueless laminate? If you are using glueless laminate like a Pergo floor then you would be ok, not ideal but it would work. If you are talking about something like linoleum that requires glue then the only way to make that work is to lay a subfloor over the tile. As soon as you put any adhesive on the tile and grout then you are asking for trouble when you want to change back to the tile.
