That's not completely correct. As of gnucash 3.0 custom reports are searched 
for in
CSIDL_APPDATA\gnucash
which would typically translate to
c:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\gnucash

The first time you run gnucash 3.0 the files in your .gnucash directory should 
be migrated there.

Does that directory exist and hold a file named saved-reports-2.8 ? Or other 
files starting with saved-reports ?

I guess not since you mention gnucash is using the Temp directory, which it 
only does if the CSIDL_APPDATA\gnucash directory can't be used (read-only, 
inaccessible, impossible to create).

Can you also post the contents of your trace file [1] ? Ideally the one from 
when you first ran gnucash 3.0, but I suspect all tracefiles from 3.0 will 
hold the same warnings regarding the path.
