You might be interested in an article in this month's Underground News about someone who did an LUL in a day challenge. He not only visited every station, but every stretch of the Undergound except for the Watford Curve in about 20 1/2 hours.
However he allowed himself to use a bike between stations. From having a look at his log it seems that it could actually be done in the same time without using a bike but with a different route or different connections.
I scanned the log, you can find it here.

There were two reasons mentioned for not doing the Rickmansworth Curve, one was that it was not on the map. The second was that he wouldn't have made it otherwise. Sounds indeed very odd. The Kennington loop is different in my opinion. There are no scheduled passenger services along this part.

Rickmansworth north curve certainly has more than 1 train a day over it!
These are (Mon-Sat):
0519 Chesham- Watford
0549 Ricky- Watford
0604 Ricky- Watford
0048 Watford- Ricky
The north curve is the only bit of LUL I need to traverse, but due to the train times it is very hard to do (and there is hardly any bus routes running that early in that part of Herts!)

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!
