ESS is not messed up at all, it was before. Now there are two different
modes, ess-noweb-mode which is associated with .Rnw files and simple
noweb-mode.el which you should install separately if it is not already
installed on you computer. 

Most likely you are messing up with noweb-mode in your config
files. Remove all your custom settings and it should start working by
default.

To check what version you are using, C-h m and see if you see
ess-noweb-mode in the list of minor modes.
