I'd say the factors:
1) Cataclysm not being all they'd hoped.
2) They're excited about all they know
3) They weren't expecting folks to dislike Pandas
4) It was just announced and is fresh
5) This expansion is going to be available faster than previously

So, take 1 and 5, then 3 surprised them so 2 leads to them trying to up-play the "values" of pandaren and convince folks that "yes, it's serious!".

From their vantage, they probably weren't expecting some of the negativity and realized a bit late that the average gamer doesn't appreciate how much background they've done for it. (Blizzard HQ might be overflowing with timelines and maps and gritty panda killing fields, we don't see that, we see the Disney trailer and the Racial ability of Bouncy...)
