I imagine that that report result site will refer you for a PCR test, although thankfully I've never personally been in that position.

That's exactly what happens. False positives with lateral flow tests are not unknown. In fact, if the prior probability of having covid is less than about 0.5%, you still have <50% probability of having covid even with a positive lateral flow.
