I'm using vm all the time (and I think Kurt Hornik as well), even occasionally
in the same emacs as ESS[R] or even ESS[S+].
I have never seen the above problem.  
Note however that  vm  is very configurable and we probably have different
defaults, and further note that I use GNU emacs rather than XEmacs.
