I've had Foss tubes on my Atlanis for about five months now with no flats. Probably around 600 miles including one long trip during the summer and lots of commuting and shopping in New Orleans and Vermont. This morning I got ready to come to work and the rear tire was flat. The culprit was a small sliver of green glass (Heineken?) which was still embedded in the tire (Schwalbe Racer). The thing about it is that the piece of glass was really small - probably less than 1/16" in width. I thought the Foss tube was supposed to seal off small punctures. Of course, it may be that the glass got in some time ago and the tube held air for some time but I don't think so. When I rode home yesterday I had no sense that the rear tire was soft and this morning it was completely flat. For what it's worth, I rode home in heavy rain yesterday and there was a lot of standing water, conditions which in my experience make punctures more likely.
