He hasn't. Locative "to be" sentences are of the form:

X-Daq <pronoun> <topic>'e'
or
X-Daq <pronoun>-taH <topic>'e'

Okrand recently commented on this. He said it's not required, but there 
is a tendency to put *-taH* on pronouns when the object is considered 
only temporarily in the given location.

So *nIHDaq 'oH puchpa''e'* because the bathroom doesn't change its 
location, but *pa'DajDaq ghaHtaH HoD'e'*//because the captain tends to 
move to other places besides his or her quarters.
