If you're really, really happy with the job then maybe.
I was in this situation a few years back and like other respondees, accepted and then left anyway a bit further on. The main problem I found is the resentment (real or otherwise) that built up, on your side - why couldn't they pay me more without me having to take this step - on their side - he's an untrustworthy guy who held us to ransom....
at the end of the day it really depends on the relationship you have with your bosses and understanding they will be.
