Yes it is permitted, but its probaby best not to assume that
the automatic gates will return the ticket, there'd be loads of
hassle if they didn't! I'd use the staffed gate anyway and tell
the staff what you are doing.

My Cambridge-Zones 1 & 2 saver return outward portions don't get
taken by the gates at East Putney. It's hard to see why not but
when I asked here it was confirmed as expected behaviour.

No mystery, isn't it simply because East Putney LU is gated as an
'out of station interchange' with Putney NR?

But where could I go on a Zones 1 and 2 ticket via Putney? Both
stations are in both zones 2 and 3.

Wandsworth Town (Zone 2), for example. And many other stations in zones
1 & 2 via Clapham Junction, though in practice the route via East Putney
would not be the best.
