Under your "touching out is mandatory for Travelcard users" model, I'd

No, because you'd mark the BZ tickets as "only valid with Oyster card
number N" and make them open the barriers at both ends, so you wouldn't
touch your Oyster at all.


So you'd actually be buying a single, and paying for it with your oyster
card. Sounds sensible.
