I suspect the reason why the tickets open underground barriers at places
like St.Pancras and London Bridge is that when the through London
service is interrupted (nearly every evening and all weekend for the
last couple of years) these tickets are explicitly valid via underground
service such as the Northern Line. *I have always found them to work the
relevant underground barriers at such times, and suspect that the
barrier software isn't clever enough to know the details of the times
when the Thameslink blockade is in place, so they may well be valid at
all times of day.

So maybe the Moorgate opening is related to validity to Moorgate until
2011 and the Kings Cross St Pancras opening related to Thameslink
blockade. I know it definitly doesnt open barriers at Picadilly
Circus. Am curious if it works at West Hampstead now.
