Not in my recollection. A white gas stove burns very hot. Even during warm up when the flame is comparatively cold, I don't remember much odor. Maybe if you spilled it out of the bowl before lighting it. Which I may have done once or twice as a young child learning how to light a stove without setting everything around me on fire... We also used actual white gas, though, not auto pump gasoline.
