Recently had mine done at dealer at 125k miles, thus not under warranty. The charge was $677 comprising 297.50 for labor (at $85/hr) and $379.50 for belt AND tensioner. Dealer claims that it is no longer possible to get the "old" belt design, and that new tensioners are required to accomodate the new belt design.
I'm not a lawyer but I don't think SAAB or your dealer should be able to use the design change as an excuse to cirumvent the warranty. If you haven't done so already, I would talk to head service guy, and aggresively (but logically and politely of course) press the point. If that doesn't work there's always SAAB USA and, of course, small claims court.
