Following is a response from Senior DHS Staff Member, Tom Pullum:

Yes, you are correct. In the PR file, look at hv027 and shshort (a duplicate of hv027). This survey was designed to have a subsample of households in which men were not interviewed and some topics were omitted. This selection was done at random, so all estimates are unbiased. You do not need to modify the weights.

There is some discussion of this in the report and in the appendix on sampling.

Many DHS surveys involve some kind of subsampling in order to cover a wide range of topics while keeping down the costs of data collection and the length of the interview, which is a burden for respondents.
