[ESS] Code highlighting differences between -nw and GUI mode

I am using the stock Emacs I got from the Ubuntu repo (GNU Emacs 29.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.41, cairo version 1.18.0)  of 2024-04-01, modified by Debian) with ESS-25.01.0, and polymode etc from MELPA.

If I open an RMD file using the GUI version, the code highlighting is as I expect. However, if I run using -nw, then any R code blocks are all solid orange. The only different message I get is

Error during redisplay: (poly-lock-function 1) signaled (wrong-number-of-arguments #<subr color-rgb-to-hsl> 0)

Which I get on the terminal version. I am lost here, and hope someone might have some advice as to what to try to diagnose.

Thanks in advance,

Jim
