Yes this is bad.
The fuel from the injectors while trying to start the car will "wash" the cylinders of oil and end up in the crankcase.
The pistons need this oil to prevent the coating on the piston from being scraped away. This coating prevents damage to the piston skirts and cylinder walls.
Result=scared cylinder walls and unuseable pistons. End result get a new block.
