It is clear from your trace that you are using Stata 8, and that the error 
is taking place inside -svyset-, and not inside -dolog- outside -svyset-. 
The -dolog- package is Stata 6. This should not, in principle, be a 
problem, because -svyset- has its own local version control. However, 
version control has been known not to work as it appears to be advertised, 
and StataCorp would probably like to know of any instances of this 
happening, so they can correct them.

Have you tried using -dolog8- (part of the -dologx- package downloadable 
from SSC) instead of -dolog-? I wrote -dologx- for use with certification 
scripts, which should not contain -version- statements, and it contains 
ado-files -dolog6.ado-, -dolog7.ado- and -dolog8.ado-, written in Stata 6, 
7 and 8, respectively. What happens if you use -dolog8- and/or -dolog7- 
instead of -dolog-?

Best wishes

Roger
