I have to agree with the 'no' head gasket blown theory. There was NO steam coming from the engine and NO water from the exhaust pipe that I could see (of course there was coolant dumping all down it at the time but I did not notice any from the exhaust only). I am going to highly suggest that they check the radiator core and even go as far as to have it removed and cleaned before we go any where close to the head gasket idea... I'm sure Bernd will know what to check - I do trust him implicitly but everyone makes mistakes and maybe his mechanic missed something.
I will be posting the TOW SAGA (what NOT to do) in a little while with a new thread...
