Is it possible that it's periodically trying to ignite the burner even though there is 120v available?

And is it possible that the igniter only fails sometimes?

Possible? Yes - but that would be a control board failure.

Possible? Yes, but it would have to be a frequent failure for it to occur while normally running on gas as well as when the control board incorrectly calls for a gas ignition when you have 120 VAC available.

As I said, I'd go with the most likely cause historically and replace the control board. If you still have ignition problems after that you can troubleshoot that single issue.
