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

The household weights are normalized so that the weighted and unweighted number of households are the same--NOT the weighted and unweighted number of individuals. The latter type of normalization is used for the IR and MR files.

The following Stata lines will confirm this for the PR file from the Brazil survey. I use hv101=1 to get one record per household. Alternatively you could use hvidx=1.
