Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

It is definitely preferable to use the subpop option. However, in your situation I would use these lines:

gen v013_1=1 if v013==1
gen v013_2=1 if v013==2
svy, subpop(v013_1), tab
svy, subpop(v013_2), tab

I think this will take care of the problem. In the specification of subpop you need to use an argument (what goes between the parentheses) that is 1 for v013=1 or for v013=2.
