Though note that the menu item is basically just a set of
directions in Scheme to start with one of the standard reports
and tweak the options that you modified.  This means that if you
load one of your custom reports, change more options, and try to
save it again, you may run into more problems.  For best results,
always start with one of the built-in reports before saving.  I
believe there is huge potential for improvement in this area in
the future, but for now it seems to work pretty well as long as
you're careful about how you do things.
