I think allowing end users access to such a button is a terrible idea.
This is the same population that routinely replies to spam, falls for
phishes, and fails to correctly execute rudimentary tasks like unsubscribing
from a mailing list or trimming quoted material from replies.  It would
be simpler and about as accurate to simply check a random number generator's
output for a "spam?/not-spam?" opinion.

The risk of misreporting doesnt mean that we dont accept reports at
all. 
The MUA should have such easy to use buttons , and the mailserver must
have a protocol to accept the "TIS" complaints

The server may decide to send an ARF report or not. The server should
send the report only if the mails is authenticated ( DKIM or SPF etc ) 
and the mails have valid X-Abuse-To: headers
