I assume that you got -xtpqml- by downloading it from SSC, by
typing in Stata -ssc install xtpqml-. As always, you are asked
to tell where user written programs come from when asking 
questions about them. This is in your own interest, as there 
are often multiple version floating around cyberspace, and the
answer can obviously depend on which version you are using.

Anyhow, I tried to reproduce your error on my Stata 10, and I
could not. The code below runs without problem. That obviously
makes it hard for me to diagnose the problem you encountered.
Can you tell us what you did different compared to the example 
below?

*---------------- begin example --------------------
webuse ships, clear
xtset ship
xtpqml accident op_75_79 co_65_69 co_70_74 co_75_79,  irr fe
est store foo
est restore foo
ereturn display , eform(irr)
*------------------- end example --------------------

Hope this helps,
