Dear Nick,
Sorry for forgetting to specify the source. Yes, -svyselmlog- is from SSC.
No, I do not use if or in. I use entire sample as checked through svydes.
Many thanks!
Dear Joao,
Many thanks for the advice. I tried to do what you suggested - to drop
single observations in a PSU. -svyselmlog then worked, but without
bootsrapping. If boostrapping option is specified then after two three
resamplings it returns "conformability error". Any advice on this error?
Many thanks!

Nick is right here.
You must have variables with missing values, the var_dep of the main equation.
You can do the -svydes var_dep, single- and see if there are stratum
with a singleton
PSU, correct (if exists) and run the -svyselmlog-.
