If you mean Campingaz stove with pierceable C206 cartridge, yes you will get a momentary escape of gas as you screw burner onto cartridge but if its working ok now then all good.

"Momentary" yes, "substantial" a bit worrying.
I'd guess it may have been in a similar state to the one pictured in this thread. If it's not leaking now (and you'd smell it if it was!) it should be ok to use, but check the seal and spike before trying another cartridge.

Suggest olive oil (mineral oil may damage the rubber).
(Edit) Just found silicon grease recommended on another forum. And the seal (which Campingaz call a "piston washer", should you need to replace it) is probably nitrile (synthetic rubber) which may be more tolerant of other lubricants.
