What is the risk of that circumferential glue causing the tube to bond with the inside of the tire, so that you can never get the tube out again (without ripping it)?

I've never had this happen, but I don't understand why not. Do they make the inside of tires so they are not chemically compatible with patch-glue?
It won't bond all that well but it may stick to the tire. That's the main reason I use talc in my tires.
