I'll go out on a limb, and guarantee it is not a clogged orifice, rather it is a spider web in the burner tube. You must run a brush through it- blowing out will not do.
I wouldn't say you are wrong, but every time I've seen that happen, Ive gotten "burnback" and it blows the thermo fuse that is placed there for that purpose.
If it is completely blocked, it can blow back, but a small web is enough to slow the flow of LP enough that it doesn't get enough oxygen, plus the OP has a pilot type.
I can count on one hand the times when I found a clogged water heater orifice.
