Your emacs version 24.2 (2012) is relatively old.
The oldest version I have had access relatively quickly, is 24.3
and if I type
C-h f defvar-local
there, I get a "positive" result.
What happens if you start emacs and ask for 'defvar-local' (as
I did above)?
Also, you could apply the following patch to the ess sources --
and report back if it helps ! ---
It defines defvar-local {the way it is defined in a recent version
of emacs, so it may not work necessarily work well in emacs 24.2
!} in case it is not found :
--- ess/lisp/ess-compat.el
+++ ess/lisp/ess-compat.el

I hope this helps further!
