1) We have no idea whether he was flying to another point on Earth instead of using the Time Vortex, in which case the ship would fly rather than dematerialise into the Vortex.
2) We didn't see the Doctor again after this, we have no idea what happened, and even if it was
supposed to happen. It could be a setup for the start of Series Three.
So no, it didn't irritate me.
The TARDIS doors have only been shown to be opened with negative effects when the ship is in the Vortex, due to the aging Time Winds present in there, and also shrinking the crew to minature size when the doors were opened in flight in Planet of the Giants. In Enemy of the World, all that happened was rapid decompression. There has never been any evidence to say that they shouldn't ever be opened. And also, condisering the Time War taking place between the Classic series and the Current series, not to mention the numerous cosmetic changes the TARDIS has underwent, there is no reason that there shouldn't have been some sort of shield added.
The theme at the end was the same as used in Series Two/The Christmas Invasion, which was disappointing.
