Going back over my logs after maxing my faction yesterday, it looks like after my faction bumped up to warmly, it took six completed report turn-ins to get to max.
The best explanation I can think of is that the earlier work I had done caused me to be at a slightly higher total faction than yours when it crossed the threshold to warmly, and that you're very close. That, or maybe the EQ gods took pity on me for my first report getting eaten.
