Make sure the compartment has at least a couple of drain holes in it, 3/8 inch or larger. That isn't ideal ventilation, but it is barely adequate. Propane vapor is much heavier than air, so it will collect in the bottom of the compartment, and drain out the holes. You could add to the ventilation by boring a couple of 4 inch holes in the top of the door and putting screen over them, and do the same in the bottom of the compartment.
It isn't difficult to put enough "stuff" in the compartment to keep the propane cylinder from moving around.
I have carried a one gallon refillable propane cylinder in a basement compartment for years, along with a 16 oz. cylinder and a butane cylinder for filling lighters and such.
I am still here to talk about it.
