In that case, in my search for a solution, there's no point my getting
24.x installed.  I get the error message when I use 23.1:

Error during redisplay: (error Autoloading failed to define function compilation--ensure-parse) [3 times].  

None of the suggestions make any difference to the degree of
indenting, but everything else I do in the ~/.emacs file function
correctly.  So there's something else preventing ESS Version 15.09
from doing what it's designed to do.

I'm open to suggestions as to where I should look.
