So I phoned the Oyster "help" line, which took me another 29 minutes.
I *think* the issue is no resolved, with another refund of around £6.

Does that include a refund for the 29 minutes you spent calling their
scam, errm sorry, "special" rate phone line?

Fortunately I was able to do it on a Saturday when I *think* it is
charged by BT at zero.


That depends on your tariff. And certainly doesn't apply to mobiles.
An awful lot of people don't have a landline any more.

Me having to pay to sort out TfL's mistakes is yet another reason I won't
use PAYG until it's rolled out *properly* south of the river, with my
local station able to do everything.
