Some non-standard size (3.50 - 19 or 4.00/4.50 - 17) tyres are made to be fitted "tubeless" and have marks, patterns and general moulding detritus around the inside. These aggravate and fret the tubes, when fitted and lead to punctures.
However, the latest batch of Avon tyres that I bought are still smooth inside so should be OK.
Maybe modern tubes are thinner and made from different materials? I haven't noticed an upsurge in punctures personally but I have found in the past that they run in clumps, you don't have one for years then get 3 in 12 months!
