Hi Gerald:

It's not a bug, it's a feature :o)  If you call this function written
by David, it does exactly what he meant it to.  The Emacs version
weirdness must be due to an Emacs bug and/or feature.  If you don't
like one of the colors, just create your own function and change
the colors accordingly.  That's all the ess-font-lock.el file is
after all; a bunch of color themes.  I personally have been using
David's color scheme for a long time; probably almost as long as
I have been using ESS which is about 12 years now.
