I suspect you are using time series operators (l.varname)?  Generate the
lagged variable before calling -xtreg- (see example below).  You might want
to pass this on to Stata tech support
(http://www.stata.com/support/tech-support/)

Hope this helps,
Scott

(10 missing values generated)

. qui xtreg invest lag_invest mvalue kstock, fe

. predict u_hat, u
(10 missing values generated)
