If you don't have a ticket on an IC/IR train and you get caught you have to pay a 90 CHFR fine plus the ticket price. However I suppose the train crew will be more tolerant for international visitors.
No need to suspect - this is stated on the leaflet I picked up about it.

The other stated exception is that upgrading to First Class on board is still permitted. This is explicitly not the case for regional services.

There might have been a third one.

Put those together, and that is to me "ticket sale on board in limited circumstances".
