I just bought my idler and tensioner pulleys from the dealer, and was sold the short belt as well. I didn't really ask whether it was the official SAAB recommended belt, but just installed it. During the installation on a 2003 Linear manual wagon, both idler and tensioner pulleys had no play, and spun perfectly. The only pulley with any play was the middle pulley.
The short belt has been on for 3,000 Km, and has been perfect, the car actually idles smoother with the short belt. I've heard from other manual transmission owners that they have had no issues with the short belt.
Something to keep in mind.
