The little "quick ticket" credit card only ones don't (or didn't, at Archway,

Oh, the touch screen machines do. Maybe it's worth sending an email to tfl
to suggest all ticket machines behave the same way?

Indeed. One could even be posted out when a ticket is purchased
online. This is (as I've said before) how MK Metro handle dodgy cards
or buses without machines (or with failed ones), and seems a decent
enough solution.

Obviously won't work for pre-pay, but it is suited to all seasons, and
even initially to day travelcards.
