Dear Joey,

Try the following:

(add-hook 'ess-mode-hook (lambda () (font-lock-mode 0)) t)

Note that the 't' at the end is crucial -- by default, ess-mode-hook
has a call to turn-on-font-lock (which perhaps we might want to
reconsider, in cases like this.)  By putting your hook at the end, it
gets run last.

This is a workaround at least...!
