Seems I was off a bit on this.  After further experimentation in the
same area, I discovered that if you are practically on top of the
location of the pipebomb you take no damage (i.e. against the wall
with the holoduke access door open or right against the sit-down
vidgame) BUT, if you back up just a hair you WILL take damage...

Guess I can get those sneaky tactics broiling in my brain again.  =)
