Do they still have those misleading - totally incorrect in fact -
signs on the validators that only pay-as-you-go customers need to
swipe in? (It should be that all Oyster customers need to swipe in).

Eh? Only PAYG customers do need to swipe in - if you have a Travelcard
that covers you for the zones you're intending to travel in, you don't
need to swipe in, whether you're on NR, LU, DLR or a bendy bus.

You might disapprove of this policy out of some misguided anti-season-
ticket-holder-animosity, but it's The Case [why the flaming hell would
it not be? They have paid a great deal of money for a valid ticket
that covers their journey...]

Transport for London disagrees with you. The Conditions of Carriage
state that all Oyster card users must swipe in at their start and end
stations.

The CoC state all sorts of interesting things. In this case, you're
deflecting away from the original point that Travelcard holders do not
need to touch in and out[*] within the zones of their Travelcard to
avoid a maximum cash fare.
[*] And can you please stop using the inappropriate verb "swipe"?
Swiping the card across the target is liable to lead to a 94 error.
