Default Oyster travelcard oddity

Mrs. F. and I had to travel from Clapham Junction to Twickenham last night.
She has a Z1-3 monthly Travelcard on her Oyster, along with a few quid of
PAYG.

Neither of us remembered that you're meant to get a whatever-it's-called
(OEP?) to cover her to Twickenham (Z5), but when she put her card on the
reader at Twickers it worked fine, deducting the difference from her PAYG
balance. The same happened on the way back.

Odd? Or has TfL realised that the extension permits are unworkable?

Ian
