Hmm, yes, switch to decent version of Emacs.
I would say one necessary requirement being that   M-;   
works sensibly.
I use this in many places, not just R, but also e.g.,
LaTeX and C,   and I wouldn't want to use an Emacs lacking that.

Sorry, since I'm sure you didn't want to get this answer :-)
