A -log-ged call to
*************
webuse stage5a, clear
svyset su1 [pweight=pw], strata(strata) vce(linearized)
set tr on
svy:prop ymlo
set tr off
*************
to replicate Keith`s problem produces 359 pages of pdf output, which only
contains "gweight" once, as an argument to -_parse expand-... So I would
agree that support is the next stop for Keith...

Keith, this is probably one for support. "gweight" is an option in
the ado file which handles prefix commands like "svy:".
A few things for your colleague to do:
1. Update Stata 9 to the latest version.
2. Run -svydes- and check that the data look right
3. Run some other -svy- commands. -svy: mean- should give the same
result as -svy: prop-.
