I have thought of this too ; Perhaps 'oqranD thought : 'the person who asks is uncertain, so he utilizes (if he chooses) the pronoun without the {-taH} ; but the person who answers is certain that the answer he is providing is taking place for the duration of the conversation, thus he is using the {-taH}, to express the "now that I'm answering this/that is taking place"."

..but when the time comes for someone to answer a "where is a/the" question, then the {'oHtaH} or {ghaHtaH} is imperative, right ?
for example, we can only say {tawDaq 'oHtaH puH Duj'e'}, and not {tawDaq puH Duj}, right ?
It seems to be. I sometimes wonder if the continuous aspect is used to represent temporary location as opposed to permanent location, but some canon contradicts this.
