@abekkala FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors.

We can demote this because empty reports were put behind a beta here.

Confirm, I don't see it on an account not on the beta:

Assigning to the project team for now to triage.
