This mission is not working, it hasn't for a while seemingly. Any idea when/if it might ever get fixed? Or is fixing it 'not in Cryptic's best interest' since it's a decent source of dil?

Does it happen on a particular character or on a particular foundry mission?
I have played foundry on my Fed Rom Sci, KDF Rom Tac and Fed Eng with both foundry and OR rewards being rewarded.
Had one "Loot-o-matic" mission without dilithium or OR reward on my KDF Tac, but it was stated in the description that it didn't qualify for rewards.
The already mentioned 'loot-o-matic' types of missions reward you with lots of violence that produces lots of drops you can sell off or use, but no dilithium. Sometimes a mission meant to provide dilithium doesn't take long enough to complete (16+ minutes I think) and since dilithium payouts have usually been linked to making you waste tons of time doing repetitive stuff, or travelling, the faster the mission is concluded the less likely you are to get a dith payout. Memorizing the Academy question Answers is a faster payout for your time actually spent, but it is only 480 once every 20 hours per eligible toon, so you won't get rich
The mining missions are not to bad, and I recommend selecting them even if you don't have time to do it right away. if it takes till the next day to get around to it, you can reselect while you are already there and do it right away again after completeing the first run, since the cooldown from taking the first misson has expired.
Officer reports are more fun than either, even the loot-o-matics, but if dith is your main goal, those other ideas may help you. Also make sure you have the right people and do these Doff missions; Confiscate contraband, Relocate Colonists, and any 50+ dilithium payouts listed in your departmental Dof mission choices! Then select any Doff missions that run an hour or less since it is speed of dith acquisition you are mostly concerned with. Rinse and repeat, while doing your other gaming. Make sure to recruit more Doffs at your respective academies, you WILL lose some doing this. Anyway, even 5 dilithium, recieved often enough, starts to add up. Again, not that much fun. The Doff system is like work, an Officer report is like a game. Big difference.
I think that they could make a lot of things more like a game than a job. If exploration missions had you take Doffs to different stars, and beam them down as away teams, or send them off in a shuttle that may need an escort, or a rescue and bring them back from missions while fighting off the local enemies but with a reward of increasing the Doffs success rate, that would seem more like a game to me. As it sits, it's just putting round pegs into round holes and geting a reward trickle. The right choices will still get you as much dith as an Officer report in about the same loss of time, maybe less.
Maybe not what the OP was looking for, but I hope that helps.
I finish the mission, comment, and it sits there saying 0/1 reports investigated.
A mission in particular or the featured missions in general?
I'll see about testing it again on a couple alts later.
Oh, and yes, I do know that some of those EC farming ones don't, I've specifically checked to make sure it was listed as eligible for foundry rewards. I'm not quite that dumb. ^_^

It's 'supposed' to be that you do a foundry mission and get dil for investigating the report. But it never marks as finished, even with 'feature' foundry missions anymore.
