I was going to bring up the concept that corporate officers (at least) are really OWNED by the corporation that employs them and the US government probably considers them as 'being in the US' no matter where they go as long as they're in the employ of a corporation chartered in the US.
That's an interesting take on the matter, but I don't think you could find sufficient legal precedent to force this issue against the will of the (vacationing?) employee, or the will of the stay-at-home corporation. Remember, I'm not even talking about an employee who wants to leak the information against the will of the corporation: I'm speculating that the corporation WANTS some employee to leak it, but to do so using a means not obviously in violation of the requirements of the subpoena/court order. Since a corporation generally is entitled to communicate information to its employees (who may not be in the U.S., or ever were in the U.S.), that's a powerful tool to launch the relevant information beyond the jurisdiction of the court.
