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

You are correct.  Those two numbers in the report should not be zero.   I will paste below the lines to calculate the mean of 0.6 for "little interest", for example, the same estimate you got (0.6).  I don't know how the mistake was made, because (I will assume without checking) the other numbers in that row and in those two columns are ok.
 
These are survey-specific questions in an old survey and I don't think it's worth posting an erratum, but thanks for catching this and letting us know.
 

. replace s1010un=0 if s1010un==.

(7,866 real changes made)

 

. summarize s1010un [iweight=sweightw/1000000] if v012>=50
