Seems like two stage probit is the flavour of the month!  I have recently read 
a paper that does what you did (Bernheim et al 2001) and to get the standard 
errors, he uses the bootstrap.  Not sure if the results are reliable, but a 
simple way of incorporating predicted values into your second stage.
