No.  As the nearest thing to a linguist in the middling early days of Loglan, 
I can say that I never heard of Thompson and so it did not take any role.  I 
think that applies to Lojban as well.  But it would be interesting to see how 
thesimilar features work out in a natural language (there are others that are 
also close, but this has the advantage of not being well-known).  Do you have 
some source data?  someone's dissertation published in some ethnography 
series usually, unless there are a lot of speakers.
