Wouter, what version are you using? I have recently done lots of work on that report and it is in SVN and might be in the latest 1.9.x alpha release. I'd love for more testers on this report as I don't really work in a multi-currency environment and don't understand it well. If you were in a position to do some testing on it, that would be fantastic. (only use a copy of your data, not the original...).
