Ouch! Sounds like you followed the owner's manual's recommendations, servicing the car even better than recommended, and it failed. This is a manufacturing defect, IMHO. As you say, there is no requirement for synthetic oil in the manual. In fact, only semi-synthetic is ever mentioned, and I believe was used by Saab dealers until 2003 or so.
I'd complain hot and heavy to Saab about it, and get them to replace the engine or shoulder some of the cost.
My '99 9-5 just passed 100K miles, using "dino" regular 10W-30 oil changed every 6K miles. It is a 2.3LPT with manual trans.
