Your image shows a typical inflation for tracking down a

I was worried about the excessive stretching of the inner tube causing
the pin-hole to turn into a tear. That won't happen if the tire is in
place because the tire prevents the inner tube from stretching too
much. However, I didn't know how the tube would react and didn't want
to find out the hard way.
Oops. The presure gauge on the floor pump in the picture shows zero
PSI. It might have been safe for me to continue pumping but it didn't
feel quite right at the time:
