Upon inspection, the flat seems to come from the inside where the spoke holes are. The tape in the rim has no holes, but I guess the tube bursts from the pressure in the spoke hole area.
If the tape is intact carefully check along the inner walls of the rims for any burrs or rough spots.

+1 on marking the tube after each flat, that should help narrow it down.

What did you do to get the flat gods so mad at you?
