help file for xtbond2 contains information on your issue. Quoting
lines from there will help you a bit "As linear GMM estimators, the
Arellano-Bond and Blundell-Bond estimators have one- and two-step
variants.  Although two-step estimation is asymptotically more
efficient, the reported two-step standard errors tend to be severely
downward biased (Arellano and Bond 1991; Blundell and Bond 1998).  To
compensate, xtabond2 makes available a finite-sample correction to the
two-step covariance matrix derived by Windmeijer (2005).  This can
make twostep robust more efficient than onestep robust, especially for
system GMM."

Reading in more detail might be helpfull.
