I replicate both on this and on another data set.  It looks like it is 
giving xb instead of pr, i.e.

predict temp2, pr
predict temp3, xb

both yield the same results.  Looks like a bug to me.

At least for now, you can work around it by doing the calculation yourself, e.g

gen temp4 = exp(temp2)/(1+exp(temp2))
