Rapid decompression

Rapid decompression is not survivable - I used to believe the David
Bowman emergency airlock
scene from 2001 was realistic, but more recently I have read things that
changed my mind.

In a vacuum, oxygen and nitrogen start to bubble from the blood at a
very rapid rate.
Within seconds, all the dissolved gas in your blood escapes through the
lung membranes,
destroying them in the process.
There is still enough oxygen in the brain for you to be concious for
about a minute or maybe two,
so this is rather a painful way to die. My understanding has always been that consciousness would only last about 15 seconds (hence David's urgency) and that it was death which would occur in a minute or so. I'd agree about the rapid loss of dissolved gasses through the lung membrane (it's what makes loss of consciousness so rapid), but is it really true that tissues are "destroyed" in this process? It's just that I'd always heard Clarke had based his view of this process on actual experiments which were performed on dogs.
