Would a NR automatic ticket barrier reject an attempt to use a
post-dated ticket ?


Yes, as would an LU one.


But can you still get travelcards from shops that aren't dated till
they've been through a barrier? *Presumably one could buy them any
time, but you'd need to come to an understanding about the date
stamped on it.


The point you're making isn't exactly clear to me.


Well, if you wanted a travelcard to use the next day, it might work
barriers from when you first used it tomorrow (if that is how they
work) but if the shopkeeper stamped today's date on it, it wouldn't
pass a visual inspection on a bus tomorrow.

To ask for it to be stamped with tomorrow's date would provide no
additional cheaty opportunities to what's always possible.
