On most tickets you aren't doing anything wrong by leaving the station. In the FGW^▸ area as far as I know it is just, or at least mainly Advance tickets that restrict break of journey. In other areas of the country some Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak tickets have restriction on break of journey but the most common ones in FGW territory at least, so long distance tickets to London are unrestricted.

This is a nightmare especially on the Underground. I posted not so long ago about having to use the toilets at West Ham which are the wrong side of the gateline but then not being able to get back in because the barriers 'think' the ticket isn't valid as you've completed your 1 Underground journey permitted on cross London non travelcard tickets. But they don't take into account the c2c services that leave from West Ham which your ticket may still be valid on!

As far as I know, it only becomes a break of journey if you leave station premises. It seems however not many staff know this or want to play 20 questions over requesting such a thing!

barriers need not be out of service to upload a new software.

Did I say, or even imply that?

The barriers were out of use because of an error with the software.
