Ask HN: Prospective employer wants me to start ASAP. Is this a bad sign?

Now that two months have passed, I've informed them that I will not realistically be able to start at the stipulated date, and that I'd need a couple more months. That was taken very badly by them. I was told that they'd give me another month at most.
This has gotten me very concerned, since I'm joining a considerably large team (5-10 people) in a large-ish company. On top of that they sent me all the paperwork via email plus a welcome message before I gave them a final clear verbal accept. That plus the fact that now they "need" me as soon as humanly possible left a bad taste in my mouth.
I haven't yet signed any physical documents. Should I bail out?
