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

You appear to have divided the weight by 1000000 twice. The first gen command did follow the instructions for denormalizing the survey weight and already restored the survey weight's scale. Your second command, "gen DHSwt_2=newwt/1000000" is not needed.
