Following is a response from Senior DHS staff members, Tom Pullum and Fred Arnold:

You do not need to calculate new weights. You will be ok with the dv weights as they appear in the IR file. This survey sampled men in only 1/6 of the households (every 2nd household in 1/3 of the clusters) and the DV module was only used in those households. The necessary adjustments for subsampling and nonresponse have been incorporated into the construction of d005.

Third party listeners are not allowed for the domestic violence module under any circumstances. If complete privacy for the DV module is not possible, the entire domestic violence module is skipped.
