My 03 hood has similar issues, more over the engine area. Some sites mention engine heat as a possible reason. The Saab paint doesn't seem as good as the German brands of the same era. I've read the Saab enamels are more durable than the metallics. I might test that by looking for an enamel next time.
Be careful with a used hood. I have another 9-5 I picked up where the previous owner's Saab shop swapped the hood due to paint peel. The swapped hood doesn't fit properly and has more severe paint cracks, perhaps from improper storage of the hood.
