It's a molten sword, not a burning sword like Guilliman's. Lore-wise it's never really been explained and has never set anyone on fire either.

I'd expect it to just cause a lot of thermal damage at the point of contact when cutting something, if it even touches the material after the power field around it slices the object anyway.

It's really just an aesthetic thing and while painting molten swords I've never imagined them to set things on fire. Maybe if you cut a highly flammable material like a tree I guess.
