Thank you for reporting this!

I just merged a fix with PR #414 . In the upcoming September release of the cmdlets you will be able to use the cmdlet as follows:

Add-SPONavigation -Title "Home" -Url "/" -Location QuickLaunch -External

It's important to specify -External if you're not in the root web as the location of the URL then points to a location outside of the current web.
