I think this is a good idea. It would probably also fix 461468. That
bug occurs because Gnucash strips out all non-alphabetic characters
(including numbers) when generating the internal ID from the report
name. It also might fix 447339, although that sounds slightly
different.

If a saved report doesn't have an internal ID could you generate one on
the fly?
