Smoke at idle in traffic indicates a turbo seal problem, on overrun indicates valve stem seals. If you had cylinder/piston wear problems, I'd have thought you'd get it in any gear. Then again, cylinder wear is rare on the 9000, especially at low mileages (you're still under 100K miles?)
Chances are that you simply burned a bit more fuel than under cruise conditions, leaving Saxo-Boy watching you disappear in a cloud of smoke...
