Should I be able to create an account on line using an existing PAYG card,
and then see the journey history? I have a (correct) balance showing but the
history part says I still need to register the card. Seems a bit daft or is
it not retrospective...?

It's asying that you need to register the card to a person,
not to the website.

Have you done this?

Not on a piece of paper at a LU station, no.

I've had the card (unregistered PAYG) a couple of months, and tonight I
created an online account so I could top it up, which worked fine as
expected, but when I check journey history it still says I need to register
it, despite having provided all the personal data necessary to creat the
online account... Seems a bit odd thats all.

this is your problem then.

I suppose that they think that somebody could hijack an
Oyster card account and use the journey details for some
nefarious reason.

There isn't much that that somone can do with 'credit balance'
and no-one is going to complain if a third party tops up their
card.

You might find that you can't see the journey history unless you have
actually topped up online. There are certainly some issues in that regard.
