This behavior is consistent. In the first case:

foo <- function() {

pressing enter does start an indented line, but completing the
function shows that the closing bracket is not indented, i.e.,
pressing enter and inserting the closing brace results in:

foo <- function() {
}


In the second case you insert the closing bracket and press enter,
which gives you the same thing. If you start typing the body of the
function and press tab it will indent correctly, i.e., if I type
'print("bar")<TAB> I end up with

foo <- function() {
  print("bar")}

Or is there a way to switch it off?

Not sure, but the relevant variables are ess-default-style and
ess-own-style-list. See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12805873/changing-indentation-in-emacs-ess
for a description of the built-in styles. If none of those satisfy,
set ess-default-style to 'own' and customize ess-own-style-list.

Best,
Ista
