For houses with swelling or shifting (we get that a bit in western Kentucky where everything's a sinkhole, and it's an issue in Florida), some people use caulk. Given that your making the transition from drywall to tile, that might be a good water resistant choice. I had a bathroom repair a few years ago where I caulked the inside of the sheetrock patch, then mudded and rubbed the outside like normal. Held up good.

So, fill the hole with caulk and then use joint compound over the calk and sand it out, prime and paint?
