I just checked this out, and I think it's a bug in -xtivreg-.  If you
add the constant to the variables you check after the estimation, I'll
bet you get the same chi-sq statistic that -xtivreg- reports for the
overall significance of the regression.  It's a bug because if this were
by design, the degrees of freedom in your example would be 12, not 11.

BTW, you're using fixed effects, so -xtivreg2- could be a useful
alternative.

Cheers,
Mark
