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.
