This can mean - and probably does in this case - that something is going wrong with your xthtaylor estimation.  xtoverid uses ivreg2, and I think ivreg2 is catching a problem in your basic estimation.  If so, you shouldn't trust your xthtaylor estimations until you work out why.

But do the estimation results - the coefficients etc. - reported by xtoverid match your xthtaylor estimations results?

This is unclear.  How did xtoverid fail with an error, and then the next time successfully run?  Or are you saying that the second one reported the overid stat and then failed?  If so, you shouldn't trust the overid stat.

This is an important message.  It says that your xthtaylor specification probably has some serious problems.  Variables that you think are endogenous are being perfectly predicted by your instruments (after the xthtaylor transformations).  You need to sort out what is going on before going further.  Also, if you look at the reported first-stage regressions you can see that there are some problems even after ivreg2 has tried to remove the collinearities.
