I've had the same symptoms from catching the tube between the bead and rim and it's not always been an immediate reaction. Sometimes a few hours have passed. I'm a little gun-shy around newly changed tires now. I always slightly inflate the tube and often used a narrower tube than recommended to mitigate the risk of pinching. Ear defenders are useful at the tire changing station.After inflation, my habit is to mostly deflate the tire, then work the bead around both sides checking visually that the tube is clear of the bead. A bright rim tape that contrasts with black helps that.
I've also popped tubes inside the tire by over-inflating which has unseated the tire, when trying to stretch a close-fitting and stubborn tire, but the pressure needs to be super excessive. A loose rim/tire combo could certainly pop off with relatively modest over-inflation.
