Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

These cases are almost certainly not NA, but should have been coded 0, 97, or 99998. I see that codes 97 and 99998, which appear in the value label, were not actually used. Interviewers were probably told to avoid 97 and 99998 and may have forgotten that they actually existed. I would arbitrarily shift any of those three codes, in effect removing them from the analysis. I don't think there's really anything else you can do.
