The system will charge you £5.10 for the unresolved journey, as it

Now I'm confused?!?!? Are you saying it will charge you for not
"exiting" - even though you have a valid travelcard?
It's called an unresolved journey and has to be resolved by the ticket
office or by an RCI with a checker.
If you try to re-enter within your valid zone you won't be charged. If
outside the Oyster's validity, you'd probably be charged the excess to
that zone and then the extension cost back to your valid zone.
Of course, having some Pre Pay on your Oyster and making sure you touch
the reader at entry and exit does away with all these problems and makes
everyone's life much simpler.
