The report is valid and I believe the reporter is trying to indicate that the phishing protection alert page does NOT get displayed when visiting a reported phishing page.

Proof:
With the Preference|Security 'Block reported web forgeries' checked, go to the Firefox demo page
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/its-a-trap.html
The page itself displays -no warning is displayed.

The report should remain open, yes?
