it all depends on the condition of the head gasket prior to this incident, i would imagine, as i've learned and read...
i had a very brief episode where the rad hose came off last spring (must have happened to prior owner - rad outlet was cracked off and missing 1") and car hit red just for a moment as i was watching temp when it happened and saw it happening.
car was fine afterwards.
a month later head gasket went.
my feeling is that the head gasket was already stressed when i got the car, and this was the straw that broke its back.
i worry enough now about head gaskets for everyone, so i wouldn't worry if i were you, you're covered, but if you notice your idle getting rough, especially when cold, losing a bit of coolant, etc., then consider being concerned.
good luck.
