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.
It's not 100% foolproof, but it's useful to incorporate into your tire changing routine a step to stop inflating at around 30 psi, remove the pump, and holding the wheel in your hand, give it a spin. Watch a fixed point at the rim/tire interface and look for unevenness (i.e., hops or dips) as the tire goes around. A flap of tube pinched under the bead will usually show itself as a hop.
