I just tried it with desmat first, and it seemed to work ok:

. webuse nhanes2f, clear

. desmat: svy: logit  black female highlead female*highlead

I used the version of desmat from SSC, as it seems to be in several places.

You might show your exact commands, as it might be some combo of 
options that causes the problem.

If you don't need the new svy features of Stata 9, you might also try 
the old svylogit command, e.g.

desmat: svylogit  black female highlead female*highlead

If really desperate, you could probably do it with my oglm program 
using the undocumented svy option:

desmat: oglm  black female highlead female*highlead, svy
