Ouch! It's a bug. I'll see if I can reproduce it. Meanwhile, if you
create new variables for your excluded instruments, e.g.,
gen double lbttest=l.bttext
and use these instead, it should work fine.

>> Thanks to Kit Baum, a new program, -xtivreg2-, is available on ssc-
>> ideas.
>>
>> -xtivreg2- implements IV/GMM estimation of the fixed-effects and
>> first-differences panel data models with possibly endogenous
>> regressors. It is essentially a wrapper for -ivreg2- by Baum-
>> Schaffer-Stillman, which must be installed for -xtivreg2- to run
>> (version 2.1.11 or above of -ivreg2- is required: -ssc install
>> ivreg2, replace-). -xtivreg2- supports all the estimation and
>> reporting options of -ivreg2-; see help -ivreg2- for full
>> descriptions and examples.
>>
>> All the statistics available with -ivreg2- (heteroskedastic, cluster-
>> and autocorrelation-robust covariance matrix and standard errors,
>> overidentification and orthogonality tests, first-stage and
>> weak/underidentification statistics, etc.) are supported by
>> -xtivreg2- and will be reported with any degrees-of-freedom
>> adjustments required for a panel data estimation.
>>
>> Version 8.2 of Stata is required.
