I think that the idea is entirely unrelated to known principles of
Klingon grammar. I find nothing written by Marc Okrand that hints at
the existence of resumptive pronouns, much less at how to interpret
them if they appear.
It's an interesting bit of information with respect to how some
natural languages express relative clauses. Its relevance to the
"ship in which I fled" issue is miniscule. I dismiss it not because
it's a bad idea, but because it is utter speculation unsupported by
*anything* in canon.
