There appears to be some interaction with CC mode bindings.  Following
the recommendations in the R Coding Standards (R Internals manual), I
have:

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (c-set-style "bsd")
	    (setq c-basic-offset 4)))

which achieves 4-space indentation, although ess-indent-level is 2.
