What probably has even a greater likelihood of being seen (and heard) is a sustained blue arc inside the base unit from electrical component breakdown/failure along with its familiar buzzing or crackling sound. But, I would not doubt the blue flame possibility if there is some kind of out-gassing to sustain it.
I want to say that I have seen such a thing at least once myself - just do not remember exactly where and when...

There was a video I watched of someone who took it apart to reveal the circuit board. I was surprised how many components there were. I could see how it would be easy for those to fail. I didn't know that they were such a fire hazard. I always thought that the hot burning halogens would be the ones. Perhaps they are too? I don't know. I got rid of the lamp though.
