Following is another response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

There have been many postings about so-called de-normalization of the weights. I have nothing to add to them. Perhaps another user can help you. Regarding the last part of your question, substantive conclusions will not be affected by more than three significant digits, but if you want other people to be able to reproduce your estimates it will be best not to round the weights.
