Does claiming a false positive not run the risk of libel?

IANAL but i doubt it - they just forward to law enforcement

Is making false claims to law enforcement not illegal?

Only if you know they are false at the time.

I doubt it. The claim isn't being published and you'd have a hard time proving damages.
