Just because there are answers to those questions, doesn't mean they are right. The quote from a magazine in this answer but it seems to be a dead link now: http://scienceinfocus.co.uk/qa/would-corpse-decay-space. But that quote does point out that it won't necessarily be completely dessicated like "freeze dried instant coffee".
It points out that there are competing processes. While water near the surface will be under osmotic-type pressure to diffuse to the surface where it can evaporate while it's still warm, the "big chill" will set in. Once ice, the mobility of the water molecules will be greatly, greatly reduced. It's not solid ice - there are pockets of ice in each cell and the cell walls will be busted up, but there is still a whole lot of cell walls to traverse, and only water molecules that are on surfaces and aren't inside ice will have mobility.
How cold will it be?
Let's try a little physics. Assume we're at 1.5 AU (Mars neighborhood). At earth, the total power is about 1.5 kw/$\text{m}^2$, at Mars $I_{sun}$ would be that times 1.5 $\text{}^{-2}$ or about 670 W. Let's say the cross-sectional area of a space suit intercepting sunlight $A$ is 1.0 m $\text{}^2$ and the total surface area for radiation is 2.5 m $\text{}^2$.
The power input from the sun will then be:
$$ P_{in} = I_{sun} A \alpha$$,
where $\alpha$ is the absorptivity of the white space suit in the visible and near-infrared wavelengths. I'm going to ballpark the diffuse reflectivity at 0.8, and call the absorptivity 1-0.8 = 0.2
Putting in numbers, I get 134 W. Since it's probably going to be spinning, I'll make a simplification and treat this as an equilibrated object. The whole surface area will be at a uniform temperature, and that temperature will be the value that allows it to re-radiate those 134 Watts.
The Stefan-Boltzmann Law says:
$$ P_{out} = A \epsilon \sigma T^4 $$,
where $\sigma$ is the Stephan-Boltzmann constant and is about 5.67E-08 W m${}^{-2}$ ºK ${}^{-4}$, and $\epsilon$ is the dimensionless emissivity (between 0 and 1).
Now you might think that a white space suit with a 0.2 absorptivity should also have an emissivity of 0.2, but these things are not constants. They can depend strongly on wavelength. Most things that look white still have an emissivity at longer wavelength infrared (where "cool stuff" radiates) above 0.9. If you go to the linked Wikipedia article for emissivity again, it says:
Paint (including white) 0.9
Paper, roofing or white 0.88 to 0.86
Snow 0.8 to 0.9
Water, pure 0.96
Concrete, rough 0.91
Glass, smooth (uncoated) 0.95
So if you had infrared eyes (say 15 or 20 micron wavelength) all those things would be pretty much black. None of them would be transparent. Snow is black sand. Water is ink, "transparent glass" is obsidian or black marble, and white paint is black paint. Actually all paint is black paint.
Clean bare metal is brilliant, but let it oxidize and it will darken as well.
If you think about it, those infrared thermometers - while they do or should have an emissivity setting for accuracy - tend to work without it, because "most stuff" is roughly 0.9 at room temperature, and they often have a default of 0.90 or 0.92 or something like that in the firmware, if you don't specify one.
Nice unoxidized metal surfaces however are good reflectors at visible wavelengths, through infrared all the way down to radio. Those can be down around 0.1 and below.
So let's just chose 0.9
$$ P_{out} = P_{in} $$
$$ A \epsilon \sigma T^4 = P_{in} $$,
$$ T^4 = \frac{P_{in}}{A \epsilon \sigma} $$,
Plugging the numbers in I get 180 K. That's c-c-c-cold, about -93C.
Solid ice on the moon, exposed to space (but not sunlight) for millions of years is expected to be stable at 100K (see Lunar water). While we're not that cold, this is not exposed - it's deeply embedded in a complex biological and crystalline ice matrix, and we may be talking about years or tens of years - faster if David Bowman is in his pod.
The body will probably have a substantial amount of ice. If you bring it in to room temperature it will have some water in it. It will maintain integrity to some degree, which means any bacterial spores (some bacteria have spores) and fungal spores (in other places) may activate, even if only one in every billion bacteria actually survives being frozen in ice, it's going to be a LOT of them. New surface contamination will be present too. It's a race against time between all those competing biological sources.
Not, it won't be a dried out mummy. It will become a problem inside a spacecraft. Keep it frozen, or outside, but I personally prefer to leave it (or me) as a burial at sea so to speak.
