Well, how about moisture in the air you put in? When I lived in Iowa, the filling stations would regularly have frozen air hoses in the winter because the moisture would condense in them. Those that didn't, put antifreeze in the lines and you had to make sure you blew that out before using the hose. I once had a VW tire that had about a pint of antifreeze in it(was from a junk yard and I wanted the rim), that's the only way I can think that it got in there. It's the only thing I can think of, if it goes crunch below freezing and doesn't do it above.
