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

I believe the problem is that your results are not actually weighted. If you use svyset, then you should have "svy: tab....".

Another easy way to get weighted tables is "tab A B [iweight=v005/1000000]".

A minor point: with pweights, as in the svyset command, you do not need to divide v005 by 1000000. Whenever you use pweight, the weights are automatically normalized to have a mean of 1. You can confirm this by comparing the results from two runs, one in which you divide by 1000000 and one in which you do not. For iweight, you DO need to divide by 1000000.
