While I think you're right, I don't doubt that McChrystal was completely aware of that as well.
As has been stated, I think he's just fed up. I've worked for plenty of completely incompetent bosses in my life, and once I was resigned to my ultimate fate, I never once felt the need to restrain myself.
Obama's administration has been nothing but incompetent, and their decisions would ultimately reflect poorly on the general. So he essentially flipped them off on the way out the door to a nice pension and some lofty senior private position.
