I took the Hammersmith & City to Paddington earlier this week, the first

of the validators at platform level, despite having read previous posts that
there are now new gates at the entrance. My card let me out at the gates,
but I am wondering if I am due to be fined £5 for an unresolved journey.

No, in general you can touch as many standalone validators as you like
without it affecting your fare, although I'm sure there are exceptions
(Stratford, possibly)

Watford Junction is an exception. If you touch the validators and then
try to exit, the gates will reject the card with a code 22 "double
exit."

No problem at Stratford. I went from Cutty Sark to Stratford, touched
out at the DLR standalone reader, intending to get the GE local
service to Romford (for which I have a [paper] ticket). When I got to
the platform, there were people about 8 deep waiting for the train, so
I switched to the Central line to Hainault, then bus 247. I touched
in again at the platform reader at Stratford, out at Hainault and was
only charged for one through journey Cutty Sark - Hainault.
