Head gasket?

94 900S convertible 150,000 mi, while driving today the car suddenly lost power, as if it were misfiring, sounded like a bad exhaust leak at the manifold and a hollow sound from the exhaust pipe. Did a compression test with at least 198psi in all but cylinder number 2, about 10psi wet and dry. I guess its a head gasket but there is no mixing of oil and water and no water in the cylinder. is it common for the gasket to blow without effecting the seal around the water jacket?
What bothers me is the head gasket was replaced around 40,000 miles ago by a very reputable saab indy here in central NC. I know, its a machine and anything could happen, It's certainly not his fault, just pissed I have to go another week without my saab! (the crank pulley came apart about a month ago, replaced it and the oil pump)
