Yes, that's too old and has the bug.
But why are you not using the  'ess'  package from ubuntu
which is "5.3.10-1"  which I think is a prerelease of 5.3.10
(i..e simply   "sudo apt-get ess") ?

Or then get  the 5.3.10 sources from the ESS download page and replace
your 5.3.8 with it.

Regards,
Martin
