As a dealer mechanic and the guy who does most of our 9-3 work your car is not cursed. You are experiencing several if not all of the programming and or electrical issues we see.
1. Your stalling problem will probably go away on it's own. The Arc and Vector model software seems to take a little longer to learn how to idle than the Linear does(thid direct from Saab tech services). This is unrelated to the reprogramming issues that were common to the Linear. You might help things along by starting the car cold and just letting it idle until it is warm a couple of times.
2 The seat belt light can be caused by something on the seat or there is an issue with the switch being sensitive to heat. There is a technical bulletin that covers this issue and the fix involves turning the switch a little.
Almost every one of these cars has had similar issues and very few return after the first time back. We really like these cars and they seem to be very good to the people who own them.
