Thanks for the tiüp, Vincent, but these things don't add up in the
flatpak installation.
In the Help - About dialog, GNC_DATA is shown as "/app/share/gnucash",
which is also the path used in the HTML file.
However, clicking on the link leads to
"/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/x86_64/stable/511cf18127561c55b5999121c6b301ca1e90d6cc988a00701257606df7fae86f/files/share/gnucash/"
which does, in fact, contain a sudirectory "chartjs", which in turn
contains both "Chart.bundle.min.js" and "Chart.bundle.js".
Evidently the HTML generation doesn't take the possibility of a flatpak
installation into account. I suppose I should file a bug for this, but
I wouldn't know where.
Thnaks for your help!

Not that it might solve your underlying issue, but here is a reliable
way to locate Chart.bundle.min.js assuming it was installed correctly
with the rest of GC. This should work on any OS.
1. Open GC and go in menu Help - About
2. In that dialog window, look for the entry for GNC_DATA. It's the
last one in the list. It should point to a directory path, for
instance on Windows C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\share\gnucash but
it will be different on ubuntu, etc.
3. Navigate to that directory using whatever means your OS gives you
to do that (File Manager, console, etc). In that directory that
GNC_DATA is pointing to, you should find a subdirectory called
chartjs. That is where Chart.bundle.min.js should be located and if
any html file is pointing to it that ia what the path should be.

If completely custom, you may want to try the -dev list.
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!
