Although it could be an overheat-related issue, keep in mind that a bunch of stuff gets taken apart to do the water pump (the intake manifold has to come off) so a bunch of air and fuel related faults could be introduced. Black smoke would indicate running rich, for example.
So, I would check all the vacuum hoses, idle air hoses, anything that could restrict any of the fuel supply or return lines to the warm-up regulator, injectors, etc. If this is a Lambda car, make sure the Lambda system is running. So those are all things to check. As far as the cylinder head/overheat stuff, the compression check is good, you should also pressure check the cooling system to see if it is leaking out anywhere. Good luck, let us know what you find.
