I dont profess to be an expert on this.
It would be to do with the cold temps. You are using unregulated pressure at probably very cold temps , and the stove simply cant handle it.
Butan Stoves (those Kmart, Big W jobbies) , also dont work properly in very cold conditions.
If someone can say what the EXACT reason is , I would be interested in knowing , but , I would guess (educated) , that the temp of the gas , and the unregulated nature , would be the cause.
I had it happen on a few occassions (and not really understanding why), prior to getting my low pressure stove.
What you are describing , is one of the reasons I bought the low pressure stove. I have camped in Minus conditions , and have had no problems. Flaring Stoves in a Canvas Tent area is a BIG NO NO.
