Following is a response from DHS Senior Sampling Specialist, Mahmoud Elkasabi:

I do not see any problem with the svydesign function. I believe the problem is with the with function you are using for the weights estimates. I don't think you can use the svydesign with the with function. You should use the svy functions from the survey package. For example, for your analysis I would imagine a function as follows:

prop.table(svytable(~HV025,design=DHSdesign))
