I don't see any error messages.  ESS-remote does say ess-dialect=nil, 
but that might reflect the fact that I just hit enter when asked for a 
language by ess-remote (I did try being explicit; it didn't seem to matter).

*ESS* has (in part)

(ESS-remote): ess-dialect=nil, buf=*shell*
(ess-setq-vars-LOCAL): language=S, dialect=R, buf=nil, comint..echoes=t, comint..sender=comint-simple-send
(ess-setq-vars-LOCAL): language=S, dialect=R, buf=nil, comint..echoes=t, comint..sender=inferior-ess-input-sender
(i-ess 1): buf=*shell*, lang=S, comint..echo=t, comint..sender=inferior-ess-input-sender,
(i-ess end): buf=*shell*, lang=S, comint..echo=t, comint..sender=inferior-ess-input-sender,
