A bigger concern is if it rusted the rim. Rust can destroy the bead mounting area of a tubeless tire and produce shards to pierce a tube of a tube type tire.
Yeah, this really concerns me. It looked like the flat tire had some type of fix-a-flat in it. I had to scrap it all out. The inflated tire with the water definately had rusty water.
I scrapped them both pretty good yesterday, will hit them with a wire-wheel again prior to mounting the new tires..
By the way, my compreesor is a Cambell Hausfield dual tank portable contractors model. I always empty both tanks when not using it.
