Can foreign keys cause deadlocks and hinder READ COMMITTED SNAPSHOT?
If the SQLCAT team says that FK validation is done using read-committed isolation, then they must know what they're talking about. Emphasis on validation. The real question is Why would a report trigger FK validation? Validation occurs on writes, and reports are supposed to be reads. Either your reports are causing writes, in which case snapshot isolation levels will help nothing, either the cause of the deadlock is different.

The only way to make progress is to capture the deadlock graph.

As for the other question, how can you check if you operate under snapshot isolation: look in sys.dm_tran_active_snapshot_database_transactions.
