Indeed, this is precisely what is going on. I have fixed this that in
SVN. Only // comments starting at the begging of the line are now
removed.

If you don't use SVN put the following into you .emacs for time being:

(defun ess-sta-remove-comments (string)
   (replace-regexp-in-string "/\\*.*\\*/\\|^//.*$" "" string))
