The bummer of it all is that if the PO had left the original pump in when he did the first belt change, it would likely still be operating driplessly.

I would replace the belt now along with the pump. Then you won't have to address the belt until 238,000 miles. If you knew for sure that the PO used a quality tensioner and idler (like blue box Volvo) then there's a good chance they could make it to 238K. But if the PO cheaped out on the water pump, what kind of tensioner and idler did they install? I have a feeling they may have been "sold" a water pump so they probably got "sold" the other hardware also. But I'm really surmising here. It's just that a failed belt, or tensioner, or idler, or water pump is almost certainly disastrous.
