I take it they looked and considered pointless all the kerfuffle about Amazon rainforests. How do you say whitewash in Flemish?

It would have amazed me if they would have concluded that the IPCC report was not internally consistent, given the blatantly biased cherry picking of available literature by the IPCC lead authors.
In the Netherlands some time ago there was a TV-commercial for toilet cleaner WC-Eend. The slogan they used was: "Wij van WC-Eend adviseren WC-Eend" (We from WCDuck advise WCDuck).
And that is wat this was: A WC-Eend report.
As is often the case with (PBL) reports, the report is more instructive than the summary and the press release.
They found a number of new errors, most in one direction.
And they overlooked at least one further error. See my comment in the Economist:
