I believe that this issue relates to ess-splus-directory-function

The problem is that the 5.1.20 implementation of this feature does
not allow the default-directory to be overridden correctly.

If this is the problem, then the problem isn't nasty, but there are
subtleties.

We need to discuss this further on the ess bugs or core mailing list.
