 Cognos Analytics 12.0.4 - Data Module based on PA cube is "broken" but only in Reports

Hey everyone,

Today, went to create a report off of a Data Module (based on a PA cube, with a pile of calculations). The Data Module works fine in Dashboards, but when I open it in a REPORT it looks like this all of a sudden:

If I expand the Measures or Dates folders, they expand to all the calculations I created in the data module, which as far as I know those can't actually be used in reports for unfathomable reasons.

I would be expecting it to look like this (a new data module I created off of the same cube, no calcs or anything):

Anyone seen this happen before? Have I done something foolish that I can undo, or is this data module completely borked for use in Reports and I would need to rebuild it from scratch?

Thanks,

Tom
