This isn't just the Do-335. A number of planes seem to burn forever without exploding or falling apart. In the past (although, admittedly not with the 4.11 patch), I've seen He-111, Ju-88 and G4M bombers burn for long periods of time.

I think that there's a bug in the programming, since fire either causes an explosion fairly quickly or else it goes on for minutes without damaging the plane.

Realistically, even if there isn't an explosion, a big fire should weaken the plane's structure to the point where it fails. While I believe that it's impossible for fire to spread in IL2, it should be possible to make fire damage the plane in the location where it's burning and adjacent parts, with damage increasing as the plane burns.
