What force would cause only the mortar around one block above grade to fail?

No particular load upon it.

It got knocked loose when the window was placed.

It was dirty so the mortar didn't stick to it.

A teenager ran into it with the lawn tractor.

Pick one.

If it's just the one half block it doesn't really matter how it got displaced, it's a pretty simple fix.

and if you leave it out of the report, the broker will be the first one to point the buyer in your direction to have it fixed after they move in!

Come to think of it, the window was new. Thanks!
