Veloflex Corsa EVO 25mm tire blowout on wide rims

Tire blew off the rear rim - second time this summer.
Both instances have been the new Veloflex Corsa EVO 25mm on HUNT carbon disc wheels - internal width of 19mm. Both have been AFTER riding several hundred kilometres.
Veloflex does show the ETRTO compatibillity table in the instructions - stating that you can use up to 17mm internal width with 25mm tires.

I'm still surprised by this, especially because the tires were tough to install. Have anyone experienced the same with either HUNT wheels or Veloflex tires? Or both?

I used Vittoria latex inner tubes size 25-28mm, and they seem to be too large, and difficult to properly fit inside the tire, even with baby powder. If i had pinched some tube under the bead, wouldn't that have caused it to puncture sooner? Or even as i inflated the first time?
I wonder if i should try a smaller size inner tube?

The Veloflex tires are otherwise fantastic, by the way, and much cheaper than comparable tires, like Vittoria or Specialized Turbo Cotton.
