This problem did indeed turn out to be a clogged/inoperative valve in the ABS controller. I bought a used one from a Saabnet poster and everything was fine (sort of -- actually the front calipers are shot, but that's a different problem).
One thing I did discover during my many weeks of research (!) was that you can blow compressed air backwards through the system (from the bleeder valves)and it will bubble all the way back to the M/C. If you suspect a clog from a piece of debris, that's a fairly quick-and-easy attempt to unclog it. (Compressed air also will introduce moisture into the system, so you're going to need to flush all the fluid, but you're probably going to do that anyway.)
