Diacetyl will not form during lagering due to oxidation (oxidation is a *chemical* process affecting the beer). Diacetyl is likely to form when fermentable sugars, active yeast and oxygen meet during the lagering (or anywhere between the pitching and the pouring...) - it is produced by yeast under circumstances.
