It happens with all sorts of weapons; any excess lube gets blasted off of surfaces through the act of firing, and it might take a couple-few shots, where it's most likely to present as smoky. If shooting ammo that lacks flash suppressants...I remember shooting some Portugese made stuff through a braked gun, looked like an AT-4 going off...you might see a few flashoffs from time to time.
Something being aerosolized enough to flash off isn't gonna automatically transfer heat to metal, and it's the burning gases that light off vapors, not raw heat.
