Yes, that is it.

This one is not even loaded in ESS by default. It's just a collection
of function to change the font-lock colors for some people's liking.
The work is mainly in ess-custom.el. But what are you doing? Copying one
specific file into your installation? This is not a right thing to do.
There might be dependencies and if you combine two different versions,
it will most surely break something.
Just put
(load "/path/to/ESS/lisp/ess-site")
where /path/to/ESS/ is where you checked out your ESS. Then from time to
time do "svn update" in that directory to fetch the most recent version.
