I did say 'no immediate wounds' in regards to the spear attack, which would assume that wounds would be suffered eventually. My post only covered a very short period of time (maybe a second at most) and the burning effect seems to be a sustained contact thing (particularly in these circumstances) so taking damage in that time frame seemed unrealistic.

Pretty much what I figured.  He might get hurt, but he wouldn't be hurt hard or fast enough to interrupt his other actions.
