At this point I'm obviously looking for a new instructor. I'm torn on
whether I want to go through the bother of reporting this to the FBO.

I'd say no.. the chief pilot is likely aware of this instructor's style
and if it's an ongoing issue, chances are he'll be looking for a new job
soon enough.

If the FBO has several instructors, just call in again and tell whoever
answers the phone that you didn't think the chemistry was right and you'd
like to try again with another instructor. Consider describing what you
would like in a good instructor, FBOs are usually small places and the
person answering the phone could help you match up with someone else.

Why not try the other school first just to see what they are like? But
again, try to describe the type of instructor you'd like.
