A simple 'make' should not do this.

It is  'make dist' only which should do the julia-mode.el
download.

HOWEVER you are right.
I can reproduce this problem after getting ESS-master.zip from github
ant then

	unzip ESS-master.zip
	cd ESS-master
	make

I don't think we'd want that  --> CC'ing the ESS team via ESS-bugs at ...

HOWEVER #2: I think this also means that everything else worked
	fine, notablay all the emacs lisp code had been compiled
	successfully.
	Just type   make
	1 more time to check
