[ESS] R-Markdown Locks up in Polymode/ESS

I can reproduce the bug with melpa code but not with the identical code from
master. I tracked it down to the presence/absence of autoloads, which is strange
at the least. It's surely a very low level fontlock and re-display
synchronisation issue. Let's hope that new system will be void of such problems.
