Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
With pweight, separately or within svyset, Stata automatically normalizes the weights to have a mean of 1. You did not have to do that with your construction of wgt_shweight_PR.
I have nothing to add to what I said earlier. I don't know why you are using "egen rank" or why you are calculating fractional weights or why you think you should get .5 instead of .4857. I hope someone else can help.
