This is not good. How about my other question? Can you set/unset
ess-fl-keyword:constants from ESS/Font-Lock sub-menu and see if it makes
any difference? How about other keywords, does setting/insetting them
lead to change in fortification? 

It's very strange that you have problems with TRUE/FALSE but no any
other keywords.
