I just called my Saab mechanic and he said there's a good chance it's not the thermostat. Last summer I went into Home Depot, came out, started the car and it dinged with the "!" on and the temp gauge was all the way up into the red. It cooled right off though as the coolant started flowing. He said that the fluid probably would have boiled over if it had really gotten that hot, and I don't think it did boil over. I would have seen steam, right? He suggested that the sensor may not be reading correctly. I looked back and the coolant temp sensor was already replaced about 40k miles ago. Next time it does this I'm going to open the coolant tank slowly with a towel and see if stuff shoots out to see if it's actually that hot.
