As far as I know, no one has actually seen such a report.
Since a number of media outlets, such as theGuardian have quoted from the "leaked" report I think we can assume some at least outside TfL have seen the report and it exists.
Can we? Has anyone reported seeing it? Did all of the media reports have the same source? Do the media always report everything accurately?
In 2007, TfL did publish a survey of red light jumping behaviour. Maybe this theory was discussed internally amongst TfL employees involved. Maybe someone went to the media with that. Maybe that person even received some money from the various media companies(?).
There's your 'unpublished TfL report'. So when the real report came out a couple of months later, it looked like a belated reaction, rather than the simple survey that it was always meant to be.
This is speculation on my part, but I've seen things like this happen before. The media are out to make money; even the grauniad likes it own type of sensationalism. They are not in business to provide facts.
