Some warning signs I have seen:

* conflict between founders

* investors start "suggesting" changes to strategy or stack

* hiring someone external to take over tech team

* instituting some new "system" to improve productivity

* appearance of consultants

To your last point: when Bob Slydell appears, it's never a good sign.
