This was the subject of much debate a few months ago.
Your drysuit and LPI valves are never 02 serviced. Most people have a view as to the potential risks associated with using high pressure O2 and non O2 compatible or non O2 serviced equipment. Many take the view that the pressure drop through the 1st stage means that the LPI or drysuit inflator is never exposed to the pressures required for adiabatic compression and subsequent ignition to occur.
Having seen an oil soak rag set fire to using a high pressure air line (standard air) I tend to err on the side of caution. Better safe than sorry.
