" Note that the order of the specification of random effects in -xtmelogit-
is "opposite" of that in -gllamm-.  "

Note that the order of the specification of random effects in -xtmelogit- is
"opposite" of that in -gllamm-.  I believe, in this case,  you want:

xi: xtmelogit depvar indepvars || householdID: || personID:

This would also explain why you're getting the same number of units on both
levels.
