Thanks so much!!...
Interesting question and I honestly don't know because I'm paranoid enough to keep a very tight grip on my ticket.
You could, one supposes, summon station attendant and explain the situation but given the French love of rules and regulations they'd probably demand, at minimum, that you buy another ticket.
And, of course, if they really wanted to be a horse's hind end they could fine you since the regulations specifiy a fine for riding without a ticket.

Well, it is in fact quite simple:
- if your destination station has no (this is the case for many SNCF RER ones), just go out.
- if it has one with simple exit fences with no special protections, jump over them.
- if it has one that cannot be jumped over easily (like in Versailles for instance), just explain your problem to someone exiting the station and ask to get out with him/her.
I always accept this kind of demand, unless when asked by people who obviousely never pay their tickets
If, however, you come across SNCF or RATP employees before you do such a thing, simply explain them the problem and they will probably help.
