Do out-of-London bus passes work on London bus touch-pads?

Since I'm over 60 and living in England outside London I have an
over-60 bus pass, which our local council persists in calling a Smart
Card. It does indeed contains an RFID chip which is supposed to be
ITSO-compliant. I was told my an apparent expert on my local Council
that it ought to work on the touch-pads on London buses, which are
designed to cope with Oyster cards and Freedom Passes and maybe more.
I just tried mine yesterday on a number 9 bus but it did not work (of
course I was able to board as soon as I showed the driver the front
of the card).

Does anyone else from outside the London Freedom Pass area but who
holds a Bus Pass know if it works on buses in London (or anywhere
else, I've had problems with mine in Oxford too)?

I think I've had my Cambridge-issued ass accepted by a bus reader but I'm
not absolutely sure.
