I tried just a plastic bag with a rubber band but had the same issues as if no bag at all. I since have been wrapping my tubes in tyvek (cut from old race numbers, usps envelopes) with a rubber band. The tyvek also serves as a tire boot- which I've never needed.
From what i'm reading, I think ill upgrade my rubber band to electrical tape. Seems much more versatile.
Also have gotten into the habit of inflating and verifying tubes before they go in the bag. Had a bad tube / dried glue combo one day that was no fun at all.
