SAGD is a viscosity dominated process and the addition of butane at dry steam temperatures does not significantly alter the insitu oil properties. It could occupy space in the steam cavity so that would be of some benefit. The biggest benefit would be some mixing in the wellbore making lifting easier. All minor stuff compared to viscosity reduction as heat is transferred to the oil.
