Actually, to be lawyerly about it, while RFC952 says you can't have a single-character name, it also defines names as including periods to delimit domain-name components. So, "m.google.com." is really a 13-character name, with a single-character component at the beginning, not a single-character name.
Serves me right to try to respond off the top of my head without checking the reference. :)
You're right, 952 talks about the DOD Host Table, and predates period- separated labels forming a FQDN becoming ubiquitous. Most of what it dealt with are single-label names in that host table.
The OP should be looking to RFC1035 section 2.3.1 for the specification for modern host names.
