CSV export of reports is broken

Attempting to export a variety of reports (*.discourse.org/admin/reports/likes and topics and posts and pageviews and more…) yields a javascript error in the console:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'category' of null

I can export CSVs for those reports for which I can manually set a category (instead of using the default “all categories”), but of course that’s not terribly helpful when I actually want to export all categories.

This used to work a few months ago but has recently regressed.

I’m using Chrome Version 74.0.3729.131 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) on macOS, but I see the same behavior with Safari, too.
