So, I've somewhat "Fixed" the issue; at least I've worked out why it fails.

The `reports/lib/report_data.js` file is mis-escaped. To be precise, inside the JSON string contents of source files it has both `\\\3` and `\\\\"` - the former being an invalid escape code (\3) and the latter not being escaped, meaning the JSON parsing sees it as a "string end" (and so the next non-json characters fail).

So.... I can fix the report by running:

```

sed -i "" 's/\\\\\\3/\\\\\\\\3/g; s/\\\\\\\\\"/\\\\\\\\\\\"/g' reports/lib/report_data.js

```

and then the report loads apparently fine (I haven't continued through the analysis yet, but it loads without errors).

I have no idea why I'm apparently the only one who has encountered this issue (and on intel's own devcloud installations!).
