1) Poor design at least, and Yes it happens to a lot of us - both broken lenses and broken mounts (I have one of each).
2) No, not that has been posted here
3) Probably not, although others have mounted aftermarket fog-lamps themselves. If it is not a direct bolt-in replacement, don't plan on the Dealer being willing to do it.
4) Maybe, there are plastic films available which adhere to the lens for protection from small stones. Larger rocks will still destroy the light.
Alternative: If you don't use the fog-lamps often but hate the look of a broken lamp/lens, there are fill-in panels available from Saab to fill the holes in the lower fascia after removing the foglamps. They match the 9-5's grill design. Apparently the lamps are optional in Europe and this is what the factory installs if the car is ordered without lamps. Taliaferro Saab (http://www.genuinesab.com) sells these fill-in panels and they are much cheaper than new foglamps
