Super Off Peak Return (£48.00 undiscounted) has restriction 5R which has no time restriction on leaving Paddington for journeys via Oxford. The Super Off-Peak Single has the same restriction, so I can't see why it's not shown as valid on journey planners...
The Off Peak Return, route
vesham, is cheaper at £46 and carries restriction 4P, also no evening time restrictions.

I phoned the nice man in India and booked it that way - he told me Super Off Peak not available on the 18.22 but the price he sold me the Off Peak return for was only about a pound more - and about £15 less than shown on FGW website.

Making the following assumptions: 1 adult + 1 child (minimum group size for FAM Railcard to be valid), Return ticket required, and travel back also via Evesham, the fares are as follows:
Off Peak Day Rtn £35.30 (Rte Evesham) (unlikely to be useful for the 17:22/18:22 but shown for completeness)
Super Off Peak Rtn £40.80 (Rte Evesham/Stroud)
Off Peak Rtn £39.10 (Rte Evesham)
Anytime Rtn £61.20 (Rte Evesham)
Super Off Peak restrictions:
As you are travelling via Oxford, and via Evesham, the Super Off Peak Return is the most appropriate fare for travel on either the 17:22 or 18:22. A much higher fare applies if travelling via Swindon. If the FGW site does did not show this fare for any trains via Oxford & Evesham then I would suggest a complaint be sent to FGW.

Although this doesn't explain why all of the journey planners don't seem to allow the £27.50 (undiscounted) SSS on the 1822 journey.
It is one adult 2 children with family railcard.
AS they wouldn't let me book Super Off Peak Return I was going to book the Off Peak then write to FGW to complain & get the differnce back, but for soem reason the Off Peak return they've sold is only a pound or so more than the super off peak.
Travelling via Evesham.
Back via Stroud as no trains via Evesham, but as that is a diverted train I assume normal fares apply - website seems to show this.
