I do remember someone posting around here that they experienced the same failure in a daily driver, unmodified Viggen. From what I've read they redesigned the pistons almost every year in that engine and finally in 2002 used forged pistons, as are now used in that engine for the 9-5 Aero. Result: I'm trading my 2001 because I refuse to buy a sketchy extended warranty and I'm not happy with the prospects of a blown engine out of warranty. I think the guy I read about was just out of warranty as well and still owed a sizeable chunk on the car - ouch.
