As Sebastian said earlier in this thread, he does not see your problem, nor
do I and many others
(I hope) who are using the facility for Sweave editing via ESS.

Did you try to start emacs without any startup options ("emacs -q") and then
only load
"ess-site.el" (manually),
and then open the *.Rnw / *.Snw file, and see if you still have the problem
?
