Hi Rich

I think that you may be able to duplicate my problem if you just start with 
no function and type C-c C-d to begin a new function. This is how I 
normally began creating functions in the previous version of ESS. 

>From the R > prompt C-c C-d takes me to the mini buffer where the 
query returned is 'Object to edit:'

I then type into the min buffer 'my.new.function'
and the error message returned in the min buffer is 'Wrong type 
argument: stringp, nil'

On the other hand, if I copy some properly coded text into an emacs 
buffer to create the function script and save it in the R-src subdirectory of 
my data directory, in the correct filename format for my R scripts, eg, 
'smc.my.new.function.R', this script dumps fine with C-c C-d and  loads 
with C-c C-l.

Hope this additional information helps a little,
