Interior blistering painting help needed.......

I started painting my downstairs bath about six weeks ago. Small room, should have been done long ago. For the first twenty-five years in the house the room was papered. So I strip the paper, wash the wall "reel" good to get the paste off. Sand wall down, fill in all the little cracks and crevices with mud, so when the paint goes on its as smooth as a baby arse. Work diligently on this room for a couple of weeks after work. Paint room with an interior Pittsburgh latex paint primer. All is well. Fill in a few spots with mud I missed. Touch up those spots with primer. Put on first coat of Benjamin Moore latex turtle egg color the wife liked and within minutes the wall had blistered so bad it look like the worse case of chicken pox you ever saw. Spents the next week sanding and mudding. Yesterday hit the wall with Benjamin Moore primer, so it matched the paint I was putting on after the primer and it still blistered. As a matter of fact the mud I used to fill in the cracks blistered also. So I picked up and 1 1/2 inch chisle and started scraping it all off.

Anybody have any ideas whats wrong?
