I was trying to use the week function to graph weekly totals. However, I get
some squirrelly results. Am I doing something wrong or have I uncovered a
bug?

Eric,
I suspect you want to use the wofd() function instead:
. gen week2 = wofd(date2)
. format week2 %tw
. list date2 week2
+---------------------+
| date2 week2 |
|---------------------|

Both those dates occurred in the 29th week of 2007.
