I agree, you could put it down without a border and pull up a piece in humid weather to see if it's wet under the laminate. Personally I think it will be fine. The moisture isn't coming up from the ground, it's coming from the humid air and condensing on the cold tiles. Hopefully the laminate won't get so cold that the moisture condenses on it like the tile. I think the laminate backing would insulate it from the cold tile.
Another thing I did in a bath that had an old flat 50's tile floor, I went over it with Armstrong squares glued down with adhesive. Like the flooring they use to use in schools. It's very thin and very durable. I put it down 5 years ago and it still looks great. You have to seal it after you put it down and it will last forever.
