Conductor is unlikely to care
Once you're on the train, there is little the conductor can do.
He or she likely will be completely satisfied that the travel distance is covered by a ticket.
It is FAR too much work to call the police to have the passenger removed, etc.
I admit I don't quite understand the problem, but as long as the train stops to pick you up, a ticket covering a longer travel distance should be just fine. All you say, if asked, is that you changed your mind as to the boarding station. The crew is unlikely to be well-informed about all the tariff idiosyncracies and cares about one basic thing: does the passenger have a ticket covering the distance they're going.
