Below is a working awk implementation that uses it's pseudo multidimensional arrays. I've included sample output to show you how it looks. I took the liberty to add a 'Count' column to denote how many times a certain "Issue" was hit for a given Error Code

#!/bin/bash

awk '
 /Error Code for Issue/ {
   errCode[currCode=$5]=$5
 }
 /^ +[0-9-]+$/ {
   split($0, tmpArr, "-")
   error[errCode[currCode],tmpArr[1]]++
 }
 END {
   for (code in errCode) {
     printf("Error Code: %s\n", code)
     for (item in error) {
       split(item, subscr, SUBSEP)
       if (subscr[1] == code) {
         printf("\tIssue: %s\tCount: %s\n", subscr[2], error[item])
       }
     }
   }
 }
' *_report*.txt

Output

$ ./report.awk
Error Code: B
        Issue:    1212  Count: 3
Error Code: X
        Issue:    2211  Count: 1
        Issue:    1143  Count: 2
Error Code: Y
        Issue:    2961  Count: 1
        Issue:    6666  Count: 1
        Issue:    5555  Count: 2
        Issue:    5911  Count: 1
        Issue:    4949  Count: 1
Error Code: Z
        Issue:    2222  Count: 1
        Issue:    1111  Count: 1
        Issue:    2323  Count: 2
        Issue:    3333  Count: 1
        Issue:    1212  Count: 1
