If it's the problem I'm picturing in my mind, the bead is seated too deap opposite the valve. One other solution may be to deflate the tube to about 10psi or so and re-seat the bead evenly around by thumb pressure. Loosen the stem nut all the way too.
Have had it happen a couple of times, usually on my 26" wheel bikes. (Including the Atlantis when I had that bike.)
