Maybe not to this level of detail, or with this specific 
solution/suggestion, but the basic question I've seen several times, 
because the UI does not make it obvious.

I'd really like this feature too, but not in a report so much. I'd just 
like to not have to go the long way 'round to find un-posted invoices. 
But my idea involves an entire re-write of how the Business Features 
works at present. That's beyond my time or talent for now, and I respect 
that devs do things for their own needs, on their own volunteer time, 
and try to be as responsive as possible, but can't please everyone. 
which is why I haven't mentioned it. I'd bet there are other users 
silent on such issues for similar reasons.

This would have been my suggestion but you beat me to it.

Another would be to use a 'work completed' account. (I do this for some 
customers/projects) This is where I record work as it is done, then when 
I am ready to invoice *and post*, I book it against this 'work 
completed' account. If there is any balance in that account, it means 
there is work not yet invoiced. I still need to figure out a good way to 
rapidly identify *which* transactions in the account haven't been invoiced.

The only time I don't use this account is when I'm ready to post when 
I'm writing an invoice with little or no delay after the work is completed.
