Here is a photo of another job where there is subfloor movement due to moisture
I don't think those bubbles will never lay flat again as the particleboard will not shrink back to the orginal size when it dries out

paticlar board when wet, never goes back to original size again. Regular wood does.

I am not sure of the science of this, except I believe it has to do with the glue.

i would assume that is why we are instructed to never lay it over particle board......
