I reckon we'll find out soon enough!

Probably extremely small since most, if not all, of the powder burns in the barrel. The heated gases won't linger long enough to heat the dry fuels to their flashpoint.
 
I guess if you were buried in a leaf pile while shooting there may be a 1% chance...
 
Any of you ever see a round ball patch laying on the ground smoldering after you shot it. Think it might be possible with a round ball patch.

100% cotton patch, proper patch/ball fit and the right lube....no problem.
