It only does that when in an active dedicated channel (either a call
or a sms or some other transaction).
If you enable the debug for the DMEAS (either in the console or with
the -d option), you should see those reports.

Also, it sends reports only for neighbor cell of your network (as
specified in the BCCH SI messages).
