Starting in Java you'll take for granted some low level issues (mainly memory management) that the language/environment will take care of for you.
When you later (if?) you'll jump to C or C++ you will discover that you have no help from the language to solve those issues, and a less direct help from the libraries you'll use. These issues are the causes of most bugs that can be found in C/C++ code.
On the other hand, starting with Java you'll learn much faster the higher level concepts of many useful algorithms and object-oriented programming. I think you will be more able to cope with additional hoops to jump through _after_ you've been broken into coding rather than being overwhelmed with details at first and losing sight of the forest for the trees.
The only concession I would make is that while you're studying Java (or C#) you could look at other sources enough to realize the issues you're _not_ encountering, without going too deep into their details. They will come as a less nasty surprise later on :)
