Or not. The ore doesn't actually generate lava when mined, there is just 1/2 a block of lava placed behind it upon generating the world. Like if you poured a bucket of water into a 2-block pit, then place blocks in the pit. Both blocks then have 1/2 block of water behind it, that is released when the block is mined.
