See, I have the opposite view. If I'm starting a new job, I would inform them ahead of time (prior to me getting hired) that I had plans in place. If they are cool with it, I'm enjoying the hell out of my vacation BECAUSE when I show up at that new job, I'm gonna try to blow them away.

I hear what you're saying though.. The timing was unfortunate, but I really have a hard time criticizing the decision.
