Please send a test case, I can't replicate this.  For example, the 
following works fine:

<script>
open data9-7
list xlist = 0 2 3 4
# see 'omit' at end
ols 1 xlist
matrix X = {xlist}
matrix XTXinv = inv(X'X)
scalar s2 = $sigma * $sigma
matrix V = s2*XTXinv
matrix se = sqrt(diag(V))
printf "\n%.12E\n", se
# 'omit' matches ols above
omit 3 4
</script>
