Many Errors in Monthly Financial Summary

I use the Monthly Financial Summary each month to cross check my accounting. I now see multiple errors in my August summary. Payments I made to others are showing up in the "Payments Sent" at 2-5x the actual amount of the transaction. When I click on the amount in the summary, it takes me to the original transaction and I can see that a payment that is showing up as $160 in the summary for example, was actually $32. The only thing that does not seem affected is postage I purchased through Paypal. Likewise, in the Payments Received section of the monthly summary, individual payments received are appearing at 2 or 3x (exactly) the true amount, for many, but not all payments received. Some are accurate, but many are multiplied. I am sure that the total in these categories is not accurate as a result of this random multiplier. With hundreds of transactions a month, this is a serious problem for me. I checked with a few others who sell on Etsy and they now suddenly are having the same problems.
I went back and looked at July and June, and to my horror I now see the same problems. I know these errors were not there, at least in the "Payments Sent" category, when I reconciled my books in July and Augst. I never thought to question the totals on the "Payments Received" line before, but I would have definitely noticed a 5-fold error on the amounts in my "Payments Sent." I rely on these totals and now it looks like they are completely inaccurate in unpredictable ways. Surely others have noticed?

Is someone working on this right now? I can't get the August Monthly Financial Summary to come up at all. Ditto for the Monthly Sales Report. A status report would be nice.
