So, if you observe this "rubber lung" effect when you attempt to inflate your tube, it is your built-in pump value that failed, not the valve core in your tube.
Your theory doesn't hold air.
Tried inflating using a 2nd pump. Same results.
Installed a new tube, used 1st pump to inflate the tire to 90 psi. No problems.
