1st first gear woes - 01 Viggen

I was first in line at a light today and when it turned green I could not get the shifter into first to save my life. Amazingly the guy behind me never honked. I eventually took my foot off the brake and let the car roll backwards a few inches, and then I could get into first. I drove a good bit after that and it never happened again, but prior to completely not being able to get the car in gear, I had noticed that getting into first from a stand-still was somewhat more difficult than usual. The car was completely warmed up and temps in Atlanta were mid-60's and sunny today.
I've seen other posts regarding this problem and wonder if anyone's gotten it fixed satisfactorily - car is 5700 miles and very much under warranty. I'm just dreading this happening in rush hour and never being able to get the car to move though I can problaby lug it in 2nd gear if forced.
From some of the other posts I've seen it seems Saab really screwed something up here. Is there a tech bulletin?
Thanks,
John
