Why was it not called in at the start under warranty 
Must be some sort of explosive ignition where the ignition is not coming in soon enough, thats what it would be with gas. I'm no oil engineer, but surely the principles are the same

In any event the burner is either not commissioned correctly or settings need checking if not serviced annually. This may have led to premature baffle failure which would also contribute to symptom. Can almost rule out manufacturing defect.
