Following is a response from Guillermo Rojas, Senior DHS Data Specialist:

KR files contain one entry for every child born in the last 5 years according to the woman's birth history. For that reason only variables from children will be properly linked when merging KR with PR. If you want the woman's variables you need to merge PR with IR and for men PR with MR. In the last two cases the merging variables for women will be V001, V002 and V003 and for men MV001, MV002 and MV003.
