Thank you, Dirk.  That is a workaround {not using the identical
rule that the ESS makefile target uses}

The fixes on VERSION (and SVN-VERSION) that makes  M-x ess-version
unfortunately broke the final steps of the release process.

This should be fixed now.
I'm sorry for the confusion this must have caused.
