I am assuming you are using the -xi- prefix. I cannot 
replicate your problem. The example below works as 
expected.

*--------- begin example ----------
sysuse auto, clear
recode rep78 1/2=3

char rep78[omit] 5
xi: logit foreign i.rep78
*----------- end example -----------

Can you change the example above such that it reproduces
your problem? Seeing the problem on your own computer in 
examples like that really help in diagnosing the problem.
