Nothing jumps out at me. Here is an idea to try.
First make sure that backups are made.
Copy one of the working report and call it x
Strip X of every data field
Call X instead of one new reports, does that work?
If it works copy via cut and paste from the new report into X
does X still work?
rename X to the name you wanted.

( Good chance I will not able to respond for a while, enjoying the long
weekend )
