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

I believe you are correct. The estimate of 39% appears to be drawn from STATcompiler. The estimate in the 1990 report is 39% for 0-1 months but an estimate for 0-5 months would be much lower.

I cannot take the time to check your calculation but have asked that the 39% in the KIR and on STATcompiler be re-calculated. The estimate of just 11% in the 1997 survey is also suspicious.

Thanks very much for identifying this likely error.
