Ok, I think I got a fix here.
Since the report builder automatically kills its attempt at rendering the HTML once it encounters a foreign tag, we create a function so that it will do it's best to convert what it can, and clean the rest out so the output can have a chance at displaying properly.
First, create a report function by going to Report-->Report functions.
Name your new function dummyHTML.
Paste the below into the function, save it.
CODE
<cfargument name="source" required="yes">
<cfset char_ASCII=" ,&,<,>,« , »,oeu,Œ,…,œ,€,’,Æ,Á,Â,À,Å,Ã,Ä,Ç,Ð,É,Ê,È,Ë,Í,Î,Ì,Ï,Ñ,Ó,Ô,Ò,Ø,Õ,Ö,Þ,Ú,Û,Ù,Ü,Ý,á,â ,æ,à,å,ã,ä,ç,é,ê,è,ð,ë,í,î,ì,ï,ñ,ó,ô,ò,ø,õ,ö,ß,þ,ú,û,ù,ü,ý,ÿ,¡,£,¤,¥,¦,§,¨,©,ª,«
,¬,,®,¯,°,±,²,³,´,µ,¶,·,¸,¹,º,»,¼,½,¾,¿,×,÷,¢,•">
<!---EDIT: MAKE SURE TO put the nbsp back together, it wouldnt display right in the forum!--->
<cfset char_HTML="& nbsp;,&,<,>,« , »,œu,Œ,...,œ,€,',Æ,Á,Â,À ,Å,Ã,Ä,Ç,Ð,É,Ê,È,Ë,Í,Î,Ì,Ï,Ñ,Ó,Ô,Ò,Ø,Õ,& Ouml;,Þ,Ú,Û,Ù,Ü,Ý,á,â,æ ,à,å,ã,ä,ç,é,ê,è,ð,ë,í,î,ì,ï,ñ,ó,ô,ò,ø,& otilde;,ö,ß,þ,ú,û,ù,ü,ý,ÿ, ¡,£,¤,¥,¦,§,¨,©,ª,«,¬ ,­,®,¯,°,±,²,³,´,µ,¶,· ,¸,¹,º,»,¼,½,¾,¿,×,&divi de;,¢,&##8226;">
<cfset clean = '#ReplaceList(source,char_HTML,char_ASCII)#'>
<cfset clean = '#ReReplaceNoCase(clean,"<[^>]*>","","ALL")#'>
<cfset clean = '#ReReplaceNoCase(clean,"&.*;","","ALL")#'>
<cfreturn clean>
So this takes any results that have extra...funky tags and strips them out. This worked well for me because it counts the tags I need it to see and wipes out the funky ones...including any other &.....; tags that aren't included in the function.
Now create a new field, right click it, make sure the XHTML formatted text option is checked.
In the expression builder type:
CODE
report.dummyHTML(string)
Where string is whatever you want to output. You may need 'query.string' depending on how you're getting your results.
See this forum on Adobe to see how this function started...Antoine actually started the idea, and I added on some more pieces that finished it well for me.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2371167#2371167you can add more HTML codes to the function...get them from the link below:

Hope this helps!
