Here's some scenarios in which I'm not sure what the best thing is to do.

A) User has multiple incoming accounts, presses the spam button, and the outbound MSA doesn't match the incoming account. Hence the report goes via unrelated third parties that might snoop on it. Do we care? The user has said it's spam, after all.

I'm leaning back towards inband (eg: RFC5451 AR header as extended), thus your B is moot, and addressing choices (sans trust issues) is trivial.

C) I have a Gmail account and a Yahoo account. The Gmail account is set up to fetch my Yahoo mail so I can see it all in one place. I use Gmail's IMAP server to read my mail. (I really do this, by the way.) I hit the spam button. Who should get the report?

  1) Gmail since that's who I picked it up from
  2) Yahoo since that's where the spam was sent
  3) Gmail but they should also forward the report to Yahoo

Very much Gmail. If they want to chain it back to Yahoo as part of their FBL, they can.
