If it's a literal dot why ess-sta-d.el sets it to 

    (inferior-ess-primary-prompt   . "^.") 
?

Try

(add-hook 'ess-post-run-hook
	  (lambda () (when (equal ess-language "STA")
		       (inferior-ess-primary-prompt   . "^\\. ") 
		       (inferior-ess-secondary-prompt . "^\\. "))))

Setting those variables directly doesn't have effect.

yes,  it's waiting for prompt thing.
