Whenever possible you should avoid refering to coefficients
by their column number; it is just too easy to introduce a
bug that way. The prefered way to refer to coefficients is 
by their name, like:

*--------------- begin example -----------
webuse labor
generate wc = 0
replace wc = 1 if we > 12
treatreg ww wa cit, treat(wc=wmed wfed)
di _b[wc]
di _se[wc]
*---------------- end example -------------
(For more on examples I sent to the Statalist see: 
http://www.maartenbuis.nl/example_faq )

This also solves your problem.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
