I wrote to ARN and received a reply by post. Here's what they said (I scanned/OCR'ed it):

We regret that you had problems finding your way here at the airport. Of course, this situation is not optimal. With regard to the SAS Lounge there is a sign to the lounge in pier A. We are also in the process of installing information boards/maps at strategic places at the airport. Hopefully this will make it easier for you as a passenger to find the way.

When it comes to the transfer process we have chosen not to put up signs at every arrival flow. When you arrive at a gate and have to transfer, you first need to go to a monitor stand and check the gate number for your next flight. In piers A and B there are signs to the gates placed above the monitor stands. We will look into the possibility to put up this kind of signs in pier F too. There are also signs showing the gate numbers to the right and to the left where you as a passenger have to make this choice. The transfer process will also probably be much easier once the information boards/maps are in place.
So it seems like they are aware of the problem and will be installing more signs/maps. They seem to say that having signs for gates is useful in Piers A and B, but acknowledge it's not in Pier F.

Interesting that they only have a sign for the SAS lounge in Pier A. Do no EBG's fly through the other piers?

I'm flying TLL-ARN-LHR on Saturday so I'll focus again on signs. I was in CPH 2 days ago and I found their signs very clear, as I always have.
