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

Men and women have different weights because they have different levels of nonresponse and therefore different corrections for nonresponse. I didn't think about you having both women and men in the same file.

However, I don't think doubling the number of clusters and strata would be the correct way to adjust for that effect. Would you get the same error message if you included sex as a covariate in the model?
