I've done pretty much nothing to this car since I got it in November of '05, so I don't know anything about the innards of it. I've done a heater fan and heater core replacement on my old Volvo, so I know what a pain this could end up being.
The groaning noise is related to fan speed, and goes away when the fan is at full speed and low speed. It's intermittent, and happens whether the a/c is on or not. It most definitely doesn't sound like there is debris making contact with the fan. It's definitely a groan or a muted sounding vibration. The pitch of the groan changes depending on the speed of the fan; lower groan pitch the faster the fan is going.
The Saab tech at the dealer was pretty quick with the diagnosis, and mentioned he'd dealt with this issue on other cars, so it sounded completely reasonable. I'll get an estimate on Monday, and I was hoping to see if anyone else had a similar issue or might know how much more money I'm going to have to spend.
