Well, the -q option causes it to not load your init.el.  I tried making 
a minimal init.el with only

(require 'ess-site)

in it, as per

http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/readme.html#Microsoft-Windows-installation

and got the same warnings (staring without the -q or -no-site-file 
option).  There must be something in your init.el file that gets ESS 
fonts configured correctly.  What do you have in your init.el that is 
ESS related?

Also, I've looked at the buffer local variable font-lock-keywords, which 
is the variable that changes once the font lock is working, and when 
font lock does not work it is:

(t ("##' 
*\\([@\\]\\(TODO\\|a\\(?:liases\\|uthor\\)\\|concept\\|docType\\|ex\\(?:amples\\|portMethod\\)\\|format\\|include\\|keywords\\|method\\|n\\(?:\\(?:am\\|ot\\)e\\)\\|param\\|re\\(?:ferences\\|turn\\)\\|s\\(?:eealso\\|ource\\)\\|\\(?:titl\\|usag\\)e\\)\\)\\>" 
(1 font-lock-keyword-face prepend)) ("##' 
*\\([@\\]\\(param\\)\\)\\>\\(?:[ 	]+\\(\\sw+\\)\\)?" (1 
font-lock-keyword-face prepend) (3 font-lock-variable-name-face 
prepend)) ("[@\\]\\(export\\)\\>" (0 font-lock-variable-name-face 
prepend)) ("##'" (0 (quote bold) prepend)) ("->\\|<\\(?:<?-\\)" (0 
font-lock-keyword-face)) (0 (font-lock-reference-face)))

and afterwards (when font lock works), it is:

  (t ("##' 
*\\([@\\]\\(TODO\\|a\\(?:liases\\|uthor\\)\\|concept\\|docType\\|ex\\(?:amples\\|portMethod\\)\\|format\\|include\\|keywords\\|method\\|n\\(?:\\(?:am\\|ot\\)e\\)\\|param\\|re\\(?:ferences\\|turn\\)\\|s\\(?:eealso\\|ource\\)\\|\\(?:titl\\|usag\\)e\\)\\)\\>"

font-lock-keyword-face prepend) (3 font-lock-variable-name-face 
prepend)) ("[@\\]\\(export\\)\\>" (0 font-lock-variable-name-face
