What do you mean by "flaky"? Is there any other problem except
TRUE/FALSE which you have reported?

It is not highlighted in green, but is it highlighted at all? Place the
point on TRUE and do "C-u C-x =". Do you see:

  There are text properties here:
    face                 font-lock-type-face
    fontified            t
?

If not look in ESS/Font-Lock menu and see if constants are selected.

Also check your .emacs if you interfere with font-lock yourself. If so,
remove that. ESS font-lock internals have been changed.
