Stata uses Rao-Scott corrections for the scale and degrees of freedom
of the independence test chi^2. It might have happened that something
went negative because of this corrections. For instance, in your
extended case, you lost 1.02 degrees of freedom to the design (compare
chi2(9) and F(7.98, something) ).
