Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

There is not a problem. You should divide by 1 million, as you did. You should use the DV weight, as you did. The weighted and unweighted numbers for subsamples will always differ, and sometimes by a surprisingly large amount--for example 10% or more. This happens regardless of which weight you use.
