I googled it.  There is a known emacs bug for which, presently,
there is no fix...
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13675

Much of the discussion revolves around bidi, but that is
just one of many ways that this bug is triggered.  So,
it's not an ESS bug, but I suspect that the fix is in the
pipeline.
