Spoke to my service manager late today.
He tells me that he's found an obscure service bulletin describing my car's symptoms pretty exactly. Apparently a very few number of engines used in '99 9-5s were built with a incorrectly sized valve in the #4 cylinder. This valve is either a touch too long or short and it results in not only poor performance but because the computer senses the wrong values in this cylinder during one or more of the strokes, it stops firing that spark plug and disables that cylinder.
Anyway, it's something like that. The next step is to remove the cylinder head and replace the valve.
To be continued...
