Was testing some vintage RCA 807 tubes yesterday and the Amplitrex AT1000 tester reported H-K leakage values I'd not seen before. The Em and Gm results show the tubes to be like new. The H-K leakage results were 1uA and 10uA for the two tubes. Is this good, bad, indifferent??

I wouldn't be too concerned. They aren't in a spot where a smidge of AC getting into the cathodes is going to be amplified a ton of times and result in obnoxious hum at the speakers. If this was a phono tube it may be a different story.
