This is a report I assembled from the options available in the GC GUI (like the pie chart you successfully tested).
Unfortunately, I am not competent to use the programming facilities behind GC's report generation.

I have tried opening the exported HTML reports in Firefox on Ubuntu and in Edge and Firefox on Windows.  Although the browser consoles show errors, I don't see any pertaining to " Chart.bundle.min.js", nor do I find any critical errors pertinent to the report content.
The new HTML reports are looking for Chart.bundle.min.js in /app/share/gnucash/chartjs/, but no such directory exists on the Ubuntu system where GnuCash is installed.  In fact, there isn't even an /app/ directory.  Perhaps this is due to GC being installed as a flatpak.
Chart.bundle.min.js does not seem to exist on either system, so I edited the HTML as you suggested, replacing the local path with "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/4.3.0/chart.min.js" but this did not improve matters.
However, my previously saved HTML reports from GC 2.xx also don't display correctly, even though they contain no references to Chart.bundle.min.js.  This suggests a more fundamental problem and reveals my presumption that the HTML files could be used as archives as naive.
I have a previously saved PDF file, which is, of course still usable.  This will be my method going forward, although the lack of a "scale to fit" option in the GC print dialog requires a bit of trial and error to get a satisfactory PDF.

Many thanks to both of you for your support!
