Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Yes, I agree that it would be better to use the continuous version of the wealth index for this purpose. It will provide a smoother curve than the quintiles would, and should match what you would get for the quintiles at the four points for 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%.
