Well dumb of me to be thinking of safety because things do happen and things do break and propane in an enclosed space is not good at least if you lit the oven manually you would at least smelled the build up of propane before striking the match but then again it is only my opinion on this matter
No, you have a good point for safety but remember, there is no gas flowing if the control is turned up. AND no gas flows in the pilot unless the control is PUSHED and held in. So it would take having the control turned to the light position and being held in to get any gas flowing at the pilot. I don't see the chance of that happening much at all. It will do that even if you still have to light it with a match.
