By parallels with the wording of Dragon's Breath Rounds and White
Phosphorous Grenade, I'd have to say "no". He's only burned at the
end of combat if the strike for +1 hand damage actually resolves.
(The card text says "burn him if he does so", and "does so" is "strike
for +1 aggravated hand damage", so if the strike doesn't happen, he doesn't
get burned)

Hrm. Interesting. What about dodges?

The effects may be cancelled on myself, but he still struck for +1 aggro
damage, imho.

I would say that, in the case of a dodge, the strike *does* resolve.
However, its effects are cancelled with respect to the opposing minion and
his equipment.

Correct. The strike still resolved, so he's burned.
Similar cases exist for Dragon's Breath Rounds and Grenades.
