I know very little about that code and have not actually used the tool
to change a report.
I don't know if it's possible to test locally without committing.
But I think we need to know what actions were taken apart from editing
the report.
E.g. was it reflowed?

AFAICT the problems started in Jan 2018.

I don't know if that is the only report that has had problems.
I discovered the issue when looking at the Incubator signoff report
[1] and noticed a lot of duplication in the report dates.
This turned out to be due to due to duplication of the entire ToC section.
It's possible that other sections of the agendas/minutes have been duplicated

A couple of thoughts occur to me.
Most of the agenda actions have been perfectly fine until now.
Maybe it's possible to change the (edit report) function so the user can see a diff of the agenda prior to committing it and asking for the user to (commit) or (cancel). That change would solve two issues:
Eliminate disasters like this one where the entire incubator report was duplicated
Allow the user to verify that (reflow) actually worked (this is the most popular (edit report) function for me
Pending this (or similar) change, I'd be happy disallowing editing the incubator report, since that is the report that has had (any) problems.
