So, national rail (and so WAGN) will let me use my LT card on the train,
but TfL won't. Well, since it's WAGN who actually operate the train, i
reckon it's worth a try. Provided, of course, that i can escape from the
tube station without being caught - possibly using a tunnel of some sort
("For you, Tommy, ze journey is over!").

This change was, in fact, made back in March, as follows:

LT Tickets are valid on train operating company services over the
following sections:

Liverpool Street-Seven Sisters/Tottenham Hale/Walthamstow Central

These amendments begin to integrate fares pricing on West Anglia routes
from the Victoria Line south with the London Underground zonal pricing
structure. This simplifies the journey experience for the passenger by
providing a greater level of travel opportunities.

Examples:

An LT Card is valid for a journey between Liverpool Street and
Walthamstow Central on West Anglia services.

A zone U12 underground ticket issued at Oxford Circus is valid on West
Anglia services to Clapton. (Gates at Liverpool Street have been
programmed to allow such a journey opportunity).

A Seven Sisters to Zone U123 single is valid either by Victoria Line or
West Anglia services to Liverpool Street. Fares to 'London Terminals'
will, over time match the LU price, so the customer will be issued the
destination 'U123' even if the journey is to Liverpool Street only. At
the moment, the SDS at Seven Sisters, for example, is £2.30 for either
destination so the U123 destination should be issued.

A Hackney Downs to Liverpool Street SDS fare should still be issued as
'London Terminals' for passenger journeys to that destination and a Zone
U12 issued for onward journeys on LUL services via Liverpool Street.
