It is not just an Ubuntu issue.  I also see it with ESS 5.8 under XEmacs 
21.4.21 on Windows XP.  I can get the errors to go away and the font 
locking to work correctly if I turn off font-lock-mode and then turn it 
back on.  However, this has to be done individually for every ESS[S] 
buffer separately.

Since turning off and turning on font-lock-mode fixes it, I am guessing 
it has something to do with how font-lock-mode is enabled for buffers. 
However, I don't know where to look to start figuring it out.  I would 
be happy to do some hunting if someone could give me directions as to 
what to look for.
