I've a number of other packages installed (along with their dependencies)
but I've no idea which might be causing a conflict (list at bottom).

I gave ess-20181002.2153 a whirl this morning but still have the same
issue.  Whats even more confusing for me is that I've the same ~/.emacs.d
on other systems (by virtue of using a dotfiles repository to organise
things) and there is no issue on those.  Is it possible there is a conflict
between the system installed ess-17.11 and the MELPA installed one?  Its
the only thing I can think of at this point (beyond conflicts with other
packages, but I don't think the Backtrace suggests any other culprits).

I'll find some time to investigate this as a possible cause but may not be
until tomorrow.

Thanks again,

Neil
