Yes, I would create separate issues for this.  I would even recommend 
separating this into one issue for the report() methods (could be done first), 
and another issue for adding tests for additional directory levels (see 
additional note below).

For testing additional directory levels, you may want to wait until after issue 
15403 is complete, which is slated for (hopefully) shortly after the 3.3 
release.  That issue will add functions for the easy creation of arbitrarily 
nested directories of files, etc.  You will see I made a comment there about 
application to the filecmp tests.
