Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Kerry LD MacQuarrie:

Thank you for your question. An error has been detected in the data, and we plan to have a new release of the recode data files online in the near future.

Specifically, there was an error in the recoding of the questionnaire question Q410 to variable mv503. The codes were reversed, so Q410 "more than once" was coded to "Once" in mv503 and vice versa. The exception to this is if the man had other partners (QM405/= "Yes", mv505 > 1), in which case mv503 was correctly coded as "More than once".

Whenever we release a new version of a dataset, an alert goes out to all registered users like yourself who previously downloaded data from that survey.
