lose reports if path is changed

[Derek Atkins]

Yes, this is how it works.  All report information is tied to the
filename of your data file (and the report information is stored under
~/.gnucash/books).  If you change the name (or path to) your data file
it assumes it's a DIFFERENT data file so it also assumes your report
settings are no longer valid.
