That's doubtful since the seal between the cylinder head and the valve is primarily affected and not the valve itself (and there's no plastic seal within the valve itself which could be molten away or something).
Also, if that valve was broken, it would just dump fuel in and around the combustion chamber which would probably not ignite (and if it would, the car would eventually catch fire and possibly burn down).
