Right, now I see the same behaviour that you report --
same-window-regexps normally stops *info* appearing in a new window.

Do you mean we should just have:

(defun ess-goto-info (node)
   "Display node NODE from ess-mode info."
   (require 'info)
   (info (concat "(ess)" node)))

?

That (obviously) will not split the window before showing ess.
