Yes. Blow-by from still seating rings will make the oil smell like gas.
Just be sure your carb is not leaking.

If it worries you, change the oil more often. Keep an eye on the oil level, and if it goes up, change it as it might be diluted with fuel.
But most likely it won't.

Always a good idea. The break-in is when the oil gets the most pollution from wear.
Never hurts to change it more often.
