That's naughty - they're still valid on the 258.

AIUI, an outboundary ODTC loses its validity on return to the
originating station. So it might be inconvenient, but I don't think
it's strictly naughty.

I'm sure I've read something official about them still being valid on
TfL buses outside the zones, but can't find where now.

The Manual states

On completion of the return journey Out-boundary Day Travelcards are not
valid for further journeys into the Travelcard area. However, customers
may, upon request, retain their ticket for further journeys that are
wholly within Fare Zones 1-6 only and on the day for which the ticket is
valid. They may also be retained for travel on permitted London bus
services that operate outside the London Fare Zones area. Details of
available bus services are published by Transport for London.

That's very interesting. Because if you ask to keep your ticket at
Watford Junction they deliberately put a tear into the magnetic strip.
Of course, this could just be to force you to show your ticket - when in
zones 1-6 it would be accepted, at WJ it would be rejected.
