I notice that the Picc has been much disrupted today and it's announced
that tickets are valid on local buses and FCC. But what does this mean to
Oyster card users? Do they have to pay on the day and then claim Oyster
refunds from The Oyster helpline? At best, that's tedious, and I wonder
now many people will bother.

If the tube fare would have reached the daily cap there's probably not
any financial loss, although it gets complicated if you have a student
railcard loaded (it only discounts for trains, and so perhaps a set of
bus trips will reach a higher cap, but it's so Byzantine it makes my head hurt).

I was assuming uncapped Oyster -- eg, someone doing a return trip from say
zone 4 to zone 1 whose trip home is disrupted.
