Stas,
You can add a -scatter- command for data that won't be plotted and
control the size of the respective markers in the legend.
twoway (scatter mpg trunk weight [aw=price], ms(Oh Dh) msize(small
small)) (scatter mpg trunk weight if mpg==., ms(Oh Dh) mcolor(navy
maroon) msize(*3 *2)), legend(order(3 4))
