We have a new theory from another board, and it fits the facts:
The tube & tire are new. The tire may have come with 3 rectangular stickers on the inside that the A&P removed. The adhesive residue remained. The adhesive is corrosive to the tube rubber but not the tire rubber. That's why they're all the same shape. A poster on another board said that my failures looked liked ones he had that he was able to conclusively track to stickers on the inside of the tire.

I guess the take-away is leave the stickers on inside the tires, or remove them and thoroughly clean any residue with Goof-Off or such! |

Had this same issue a few months back. New tire and tube installed in Jan. Failed in August. Checked for stickers and/or residue, nothing. Heat should not have been any factor as rolled out. Taxi in and noticed tire going down when putting away.
