Many thanks for your tips.

1. I did have a copy under ~/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/data/gnucash/
but deleting it didn't change anything

2. I replaced the original guid in the SCM file (which contained
hyphens) with one generated by https://www.guidgenerator.com/ as
recommended here;
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports#Setup_a_prototype_report
however, the behavior remained the same: GC fails to start unless I
remove the new report from:
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/current/active/files/share/gui
le/site/2.2/gnucash/reports/standard/

>>
P.S. this would happen if you had the reports in both a user dir and
the
system wide one
