Check your propane pressure at the water heater. I have had regulators that would be just a little low and the shape of the pilot light flame was not quite right. That made it be a little too far from the burner. So the burner would flow a few seconds and then light with a big woof.
Another issue I have had on a wall heater that will getting doing the same thing. The pilot light orifice shots the gas up this short small diameter pipe. The inside of the pipe gets dirty and makes the flame be a little shorter than it should be. It does not light the burner as fast being setting too low. The little pipe is about the size of a Q-tip. So I take the pilot light orifice and pipe apart and clean it with brake cleaner and a q-tip. Usually this makes the flame just a little longer and the burner lights faster.
So check the shape of the flame that your pilot light is producing. Maybe some thing is just a little dirty and needs cleaned to make it light correctly.
