I'm pretty sure that gas is more flammable than paint thinner, but the motor wouldn't explode. It would either run a little bit, then fry out if it didn't get any oil, or not start at all. Sure thing is though that it would run dirty.
The thing with 2-stroke engines is that the exhaust port is ALWAYS open, even when the intake lets in the fuel and air mix.

There are several types of paint thinner that are more flammable than gasoline. If you mixed thinner in the gas without oil it would probably seize the piston, breaking it or the connecting rod. Or, it may seize the crankshaft bearings since the fuel oil mixture in the crankcase normally lubes the main and rod bearings. It is not likely that the mixture in the crankcase would ignite which could be the explosion you are referring to.

It would be bad, those are designed specifically for a proper fuel/oil mixture. If you start putting things like that in your gas tank, might as well bury it right now.
