I'm no chemist; but I suspect the answer depends on the physical
configuration.  Paper + oil will spontaneously combust under some
circumstances, due to self-heating as the oil oxidizes.  But it has to be in
a configuration where the paper can get hot enough to ignite, which usually
means a sizeable pile where the outer layers serve as insulation for the
inner layers (but allow enough air through to support the oxidation).  

Most likely, with just a few layers wrapped around a non-flammable (and heat
conductive) item, you won't have a problem.

Of course, if something else happens, and your insurance agent learns of the
"fire hazard" you deliberately created, it may not matter exactly what the
problem was !
