I'd definitely like to get to the bottom of the situation, so again, if anyone is seeing this behavior, the most useful thing you could check on is whether the report is also empty in the Report Center of the AdWords web interface. That information, along with the reportId and ideally some sort of way of identifying your getReportDownloadUrl () request (either a log or the returned URL or the requestId SOAP response header) would be great.
